Larry Jacobson joins Suzanne to talk about his Sail Into Retirement self-guided video course, an award-winning life-style planning program that teaches us how to start living the life you always wanted to live. He'd carried a dream to sail around the world for decades, and then found himself taking a leap of faith.

Larry says, "I ended up as CEO and then was able to sell the company. I bought a boat and  left to go sailing.  I left my career, my income, my security. I left my home, I left my partner. I left my identity, and that was the most difficult. And this is what happens when people retire is they lose their identity. If you're a plant manager, if you're a cop, if you're a nurse, if you're a doctor, a lawyer, anything, that's what you do. That's how you identify who you are, ask anybody at a cocktail party, you know?

"I came back six years later, having sailed all the way around the world. And it was a dream come true and it was magnificent. It was life changing. It would change the way I looked at the world, it changed, everything for me and then I came home and I was lost. I thought, well, I've sailed all the way around the world. I made my dream come true. Now, what do I do? Because I committed career suicide. I was out of the industry and nobody knew who I was.

"So I spent three years writing my memoir about the journey as around the world. And I was searching, I didn't know what I was gonna do one day. A friend of mine called, who was the CEO of a big company in San Francisco. And he said, uh, hey, Larry, can you come out and give me some advice. The following week, I went into his offices, and I said, OK, I'm here, what do you need? Do you need help with personnel finance? And he says, 'no, I know how to run my company. I want to know how you got out, how you left, how you let go of your identity as a CEO. I wanna paint.' I said, wow, OK. Well, so I started thinking about how I did it and I gave him some advice and he says, OK, great. The next week he had told a friend and that friend called me and he was a CEO and he wanted to know how he did it. I thought, hm, I might be on to something here."
