What if every moment of your life was truly yours?

In this powerful episode of The Real Retirement Show, we sit down with the legendary George Kinder — father of the life planning movement, mindfulness teacher, and global force for authentic living.

With heart, humility, and poetic clarity, George shares how to design a life rooted in freedom, purpose, and presence — and why your dream of living fully can’t wait until retirement.

From the serenity of his New England cabin to the bustling streets of London, George reveals his journey of awakening, the power behind his EVOKE® process, and why the future of retirement — and humanity — depends on trustworthiness and values-aligned action.

We explore:

• How to uncover your true purpose and make it real
• The three domains of freedom — and why they matter now more than ever
• Why fiduciary duty belongs not just in finance, but in every institution
• How mindfulness and deep listening shape our ability to lead, connect, and transform

Whether you're reimagining your next chapter or simply seeking deeper meaning, this conversation will awaken something in you.

Listen in — and begin the journey to your most meaningful life.
