What if your career ends on someone else's schedule — and the only asset left that can replace the income is the one everyone keeps telling you is expiring?

Lynn Friesth spent 40 years in manufacturing leadership at John Deere before retiring in 2015. Over the next decade he built a coaching practice, recorded more than 200 podcast episodes, mentored founders through SCORE and the Iowa Venture School, and at 75 built an AI coaching assistant with no coding background.

In this episode, Lynn explains how to design an intentional life after work instead of drifting into one, why doing everything at once is the most common post-retirement mistake, and how a 75-year-old with a slide rule background ended up building an AI tool that coaches people around the clock.
