Ed Malcolm - His Business Ventures

Men Are Disconnected in a Connected World

On this week’s episode of More Than Money, Faisal Karmali and Leanna Wachniak discuss a recent topic from The Globe and Mail’s Second Act series on reinventing retirement: could prediction markets become part of your retirement portfolio as they grow in popularity? Many of these articles use the word “investment,” but is that really the right word? Faisal weighs in. Then, they are joined by retired Calgary oil and gas executive Ed Malcolm, who shares his outlook on retirement through the idea of Life 1.0, Life 2.0, and Life 3.0. Life 1.0 is your school years, Life 2.0 is your working years, and Life 3.0 is your retirement years. Ed also discusses his latest business venture, Thermae Eleven, a new outdoor-only spa, and explains why he decided to take on something new in retirement.

To close the show, Faisal and Leanna turn their attention to Seniors’ Loneliness Awareness Week and a topic that does not get enough attention: loneliness among older men. We live in the most connected world in history, yet many older men are quietly becoming more isolated. When a career ends, so can a built-in social network, and men are often the last to reach out when they need support.
