Hello Reader,
​
As I send out this newsletter, I’m in the final stretch of my cruise, preparing to land in Kagoshima—my first stop in Japan. While the idea of a “workation” sounded appealing, I’ve learned that balancing work and travel isn’t as effortless as it seems. The distractions are plenty, and the food? Simply too good to ignore. Next time, I might opt for a single destination—working first, then fully immersing myself in the experience.

Despite the challenges, I’ve made significant progress on the Wisepreneurs website, updating content and writing several new articles based on my key categories. Whether you’re launching a business, refining your personal brand, or adapting to an evolving workplace, my goal remains the same: to provide clear, relevant, and practical guidance for independent professionals over 60.

The core focus areas—Entrepreneurship & Freelancing, Marketing & Personal Branding, Future of Work & AI, Work-Life Balance & Transitions, Aging & Well-Being, and Support & Well-Being—deliver actionable strategies to help you build a sustainable business, embrace technology, and maintain a fulfilling work-life balance.

These articles are not just theoretical; they stem from deep discussions on the Wisepreneurs Podcast, as well as insights from books, articles, and other podcasts I’ve explored along the way. Every piece is crafted to ensure you gain real-world, applicable strategies to navigate this exciting chapter of your professional life.
