Explore the ideas. Share the conversation. Design your next chapter.

Most people spend decades preparing for a career — and almost no time preparing for the life that comes after it. The Learning Circle is a regular opportunity to work on the non-financial side of retirement: identity, purpose, connection, health, and how you’ll invest your time.

Each month we read one exceptional book (or occasionally watch a film) and discuss its most valuable ideas together. You’ll leave every session with practical insights you can apply immediately — and a welcoming community of lifelong learners navigating similar transitions.

Whether you’re planning for retirement or already living it, you’ll find fresh perspectives and engaging conversation.


How It Works

1. Sign up once

Register below and you’re in. You’ll receive each month’s selection and the Zoom link by email.

2. Read (as much as you can)

We announce each book about a month ahead. Read the whole thing, skim the key chapters, or just come curious.

3. Join the conversation

One hour, first Wednesday of the month, 12 pm Eastern. We discuss the ideas that matter most — and how to actually use them.


Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to finish the book to attend?
Not at all. Life happens. If you’ve read even a chapter or two — or just skimmed a summary — you’ll get plenty from the conversation. The discussion focuses on the most valuable ideas, not a chapter-by-chapter quiz.
Is this only for people who are already retired?
No. The Learning Circle is for anyone thinking seriously about their next chapter — whether retirement is five years away, five months away, or already underway. Many members find the conversations most valuable before they retire.
Is it really free? What’s the catch?
It’s really free — no catch, no sales pitch. The Learning Circle is how we build community around the ideas explored on The Retirement Wisdom Podcast and in our programs. If you ever want to go deeper, those options exist. But the Circle stands on its own.
