Generative Work - Platform vs Purpose in Retirement

In part two of our generative work exploration, Ben Taatjes addresses the critical distinction many retirees miss: your career gave you a platform, not your purpose. While your job title disappears at retirement, the deeper gifts and calling that animated your work remain intact. Ben walks retirees through four powerful questions designed to uncover what actually gave you energy and meaning beneath the job description, and more importantly, who could benefit from those gifts now. Discover how retirement shifts the question from 'What will I do with myself?' to 'Who could I help and what could I grow?' This episode reframes retirement not as an ending to work, but as preparation for the most meaningful work of your life - generative work that creates, serves, develops others, and produces fruit beyond yourself. Perhaps retirement isn't the work we're supposed to retire from. Perhaps it's the work we've been preparing to retire toward.
