Advertise on podcast: RICK HIGGINS AFTER HOURS - Life Adventure Travel After 50+ (The Podcast)

Today we’re exploring something that simply didn’t exist when we were younger.  At least not in the volume and format we face now.  I could say the subject is social media.  I could even say it’s about the change in mainstream media.  But in reality it’s about drinking from a fire hose.  It’s not just what we’re consuming, or from where … but what it does to us.  And how we might be able to moderate the onslaught. Hi, my name is Rick Higgins and I'm finally living the life that I want.  "Great", you say with a little shake of your head, "what's that got to do with me?".  Well, everything actually. ​ ​I started a YouTube channel offering advice to people of a certain age.  Answering questions that I myself had.  And one day I realized that I was just being an anonymous junior college professor, standing at a chalkboard and not embracing my own lessons.  Well, that changed that very moment.  Now I'm living the life that I talk about and I'm bringing you along, both on YouTube and here on the podcast.  Partly for entertainment, partly as inspiration, but always as a friend.

If you’ve been watching the news lately you may have seen the breaking headline … THE GREAT RESIGNATION.  And maybe you’ve even clicked on an article and read a few paragraphs.  But for a lot of the those offerings, it may not have seemed that the concept applied to you.  The major news sources like to focus on either younger workers or those in semi-unskilled labor.  So what about people aged 50+ who have been in a career for decades?  How does The Great Resignation affect us? While this is a huge and varied topic, it does hit rather close to home for me.  Because I’m directly a part of it.  Strangely I didn’t know I was in a trending topic until recently, but somehow I do find myself just there.  😇  So yes, this is also my story.  (And perhaps, yours too).
