What’s your travel dream? Visit every county in Ireland, every state in the Union, every province in Canada?

Why not think bigger? How about every country in the world? That’s the goal of our guest and his wife this week on The Art 2 Aging.

Wayne and Sally Schmidt are in their 60s. They gave up their Groundhog Day life in Australia and embarked on a journey that, to date, has spanned 81 countries and taken seven years.

Their story is one long travel adventure and Wayne lays it all out, along with some great travel tips, in this week’s episode.

Visit their website: traveldinestay.com where you can share vicariously in their adventure.

Wills and estates.

Alongside life insurance, wills and estates are two things most people don’t want to think about, let alone do any planning around what happens to their assets when they die.

This is why 68% of Americans and about 50% of Canadians will give their heirs lots of headaches at death.

This week, The Art 2 Aging takes a very practical look at wills, estates, estate planning and death taxes.

We have engaged the expertise of a top financial planner in Toronto, Canada to help navigate the ins and outs of all this.

Even though tax and estate laws may vary from country to country, at a high level the financial concepts and strategies are very similar, if not identical.

This is vital content to know if you own anything, let alone anything of value!

How many of us are working in jobs or professions that no longer fulfill us?

Plenty.

But most of us don’t see a way out; we need to continue to work for the paycheck, to support our families, to pay our bills.

What we yearn for, while heading off each morning to a job that leaves us feeling empty, is an inner sense of meaning.

James Adams felt that way. He was a senior marketing executive with decades of experience, an entrepreneur in the food industry, and he was fed up.

So in his 60s, he embarked on perhaps the greatest risk of his profesinal life. He quit.

Walked away from his career.

Took up meditation and along the way began to find himself again.

He now teaches it to what he calls “forward thinking companies”.
