  • How to Build a Life After Retirement

    How to Build a Life After Retirement
    2026/08/09

    What happens after you retire—and suddenly no one is telling you where to be or what to do?

    Jim and Marilyn Riley have created a next chapter filled with friendship, travel, curiosity, learning, family and fun. But they didn't get there in exactly the same way.

    Jim transitioned out of the company he had built, eventually handing leadership to his son and realizing that sometimes the best thing a former leader can do is get out of the way. Marilyn, a retired nurse, found new purpose through creativity, golf, book clubs, volunteering and her grandchildren.

    Together, they offer an important lesson: a fulfilling retirement doesn't just happen. You build it.

    In this episode of On the Brink with Andi Simon, we talk about creating community before you need it, maintaining separate and shared interests as a couple, staying curious and active, traveling with intention, and why there really should be a "Retirement 101."

    If you're approaching retirement—or already there and wondering what comes next—Jim and Marilyn's story may help you rethink what this stage of life can become.

    Ready to rethink your own next chapter?

In this inspiring episode of On the Brink, Andi Simon welcomes former NFL three-time Super Bowl champion Bart Oates and renowned orthopedic surgeon Dr. Vincent McInerney for a conversation about life beyond professional success. Together, they explore what it really means to move into a new chapter—not by retiring from life, but by redefining it.

Whether you're approaching retirement, beginning a career transition, or simply wondering what comes next, this conversation offers practical wisdom and hope for designing a meaningful future. Retirement isn't about stopping. It's about discovering new ways to contribute, grow, and live with intention. Change begins with a new way of seeing. As a corporate anthropologist, I believe that the stories we hear have the power to reshape the stories we live. If you're ready to rethink retirement—or simply rethink what's next—I hope you'll join me again on On the Brink. Until next time, stay curious, keep learning, and remember: your next chapter may be your most meaningful one yet.

  • From Expertise to Influence | Bill Sherman on Thought Leadership

    From Expertise to Influence | Bill Sherman on Thought Leadership
    2026/07/22
    What transforms expertise into influence? In this episode of On the Brink with Andi Simon, I sit down with Bill Sherman, one of the leading voices in thought leadership and co-author of The Thought Leadership Handbook. Together, we explore what it really means to become a thought leader—and why it has very little to do with titles or self-promotion. Bill shares how curiosity, passion, and a commitment to helping others are the true foundations of thought leadership. We discuss why writing a book is only the beginning, how ideas grow into movements, and why your expertise can continue to make a difference long after you've left an executive role or retired. We also examine the role of AI. While artificial intelligence can summarize what has already been discovered, it cannot replace the human curiosity, judgment, and lived experience that drive innovation and meaningful change. Whether you're an executive, entrepreneur, consultant, coach, author, or someone beginning your next chapter, this conversation will inspire you to think differently about the value of your ideas—and the impact they can have on others. In this episode you'll discover:
    • What thought leadership really is—and what it isn't
    • Why curiosity is the engine behind every great idea
    • How to turn expertise into lasting influence
    • Why your next chapter may be your most impactful one As always, my goal is to help you see, feel, and think in new ways so you can turn your observations into innovations. About the Host Andi Simon, PhD, is a corporate anthropologist, author, speaker, and executive advisor who helps leaders, organizations, and individuals see, feel, and think in new ways so they can navigate change with confidence. She is the founder and CEO of Simon Associates Management Consultants and the author of Rethink Retirement, On the Brink, Rethink: Smashing the Myths of Women in Business, and Women Mean Business.
