About the show

Lucas and Luna explore the landscape of late-career reinvention in this show, focusing on professionals aged 50 and older who are crafting encore careers or navigating pre-retirement transitions. Each episode is a conversation grounded in real data and named cases: from a former marketing executive launching a nonprofit to a teacher retraining as a data analyst. Lucas, with his journalist's precision, anchors discussions in the numbers behind career shifts, such as the Bureau of Labor Statistics' projections for older worker participation or the ROI of second-career training programs. Luna, the engaged interlocutor, amplifies the human dimensions, asking the questions that matter to professionals facing these crossroads: How do you leverage decades of experience without being typecast? When does a 'phased retirement' make financial sense? What hidden job markets exist for seasoned workers? Together, they dissect company policies on phased retirement, the psychology of identity shifts, and the financial strategies that underpin a successful late-career pivot. The listener is the 50+ professional, the HR leader designing inclusive programs, or the mid-career planner looking ahead. Each episode ends with a specific tension: What does it truly take to build a meaningful second act, and how do the numbers support or complicate that journey? #EncoreCareers #PreRetirement #OlderWorkers #CareerReinvention #AgeDiversity #PhasedRetirement #SecondAct #LifelongLearning #MidlifeCareerChange #WorkforceTrends #SkillsTraining #FinancialPlanning #JobSearch #CareerAdvice #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Careers Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
