Retirement Must Be Disrupted: Over coffee, 3 Retirees Each Discover Their 1 Thing — And Disrupt Forever

Retirement is not broken. It is obsolete. Not for everyone. For the one in six retirees who already knows that an activities calendar is not a life. Who wakes up some mornings feeling the pull of something they cannot quite name yet. Who refuses to be filed away somewhere safe and be treated like yesterday's newspaper. For those people - and you know immediately if you are one of them - retirement does not need to be endured, optimized, or survived. It needs to be disrupted. Nearly 31 million retirees have more than forty hours of unstructured free time every week that nobody prepared them for. One in three retirees reports feeling lonely - not occasionally. Regularly. And the suicide rate for men over fifty-five is more than double the national average - a number researchers connect directly to the loss of identity and purpose that retirement quietly takes from men who built their lives around their work. Frank Seringa spent eighteen years refusing to let that happen. He is eighty-three years old, living in The Villages, Florida, writing his first book with the help of artificial intelligence, and absolutely refusing to accept that his most valuable years are behind him. This book is what he found was missing, so he wrote it. And it starts with one question written on a napkin. What are you curious about right now? Robinson, Sinek, and Moynes gave the world over one hundred million views worth of insight into human potential. None of them told you what to do about it in retirement. Frank Seringa did. In a coffee shop in The Villages, Florida. One disruption at a time. This book is not for everyone. It is for the one in six retirees who already knows retirement is not the finish line. You know who you are. - Frank Seringa, Retirement Disruptor
