Death is inevitable—but how you live before it is a choice. Gerry Ricken reflects on loss, longevity, and real-life moments that shape how we approach retirement and everyday living. From family stories to lessons learned too late for some, this episode explores why waiting for “someday” can quietly steal joy. The conversation centers on living with intention, managing priorities, and finding meaning now, not later. It’s an honest discussion about time, perspective, and making the most of every season of life.
