Today's topic, reinventing your career
after 50 especially when traditional
retirement is not a valid option! thanks
Thanks so much for tuning in to 2nd Act TV
I am so happy to introduce you to John
Tarnoff up today, John thank you so much for
joining us. Hi Silke, so great to be with
you! I I mean I really really am excited
because you, the book you wrote Boomer
Reinvention just completely speaks
obviously to me and to what i'm doing
here on 2nd Act TV which is all about
reinventing life after fifty your your
specific focus of course is career and
the state of the boomers and what we've
gotten ourselves into to where we can't
retire as we planned, kind of talk about
that and tell us how you arrived at
writing this book. Well this was really
the lightbulb moment for me is and i
talked about this in the book i kind of
lead off the book with the idea that i
wrote a book because I I really can't
afford to retire and I think that this
is a situation that that really a great
majority of people in our generation are
facing and the stats really bare this up
there's a there's a heap of numbers
about this but where I come out on this
is it probably about eighty percent of
the baby boomer generation and those are
people who were born between 1946 and 1964
do not have enough money saved for
retirement that's going to be able to
sustain them in anything near the
quality of lifestyle that they're
currently living. Well and and and the
good news is that we're living longer
the bad news is we have to work longer
or is it bad news? right well yeah it
is good news bad news it's I think you
know it does come down to quality of
life and I think career is part of
quality of life and particularly for our
generation we were raised with this I
mean hippies or not we were raised with
this with this work ethic and I think
one of the things that we are known for
in the HR community and
the economy and the corporate world is
for for having
this strong work at work ethic and I
look around at people in their mid fifties
into their 60s who are finding it
difficult to stay their jobs or if
they've been for whatever reason tossed
out of their jobs having an even more
difficult time landing a new job or
starting a new business I mean this is a
this is a huge kind of a non sequitur
conundrum shock yeah for all of us yeah
well and and you went through it
multiple times as you say ...
well that goes back to the question why I
wrote the book I mean I come out the
entertainment business I was a Film Studio
executive for many many years up until
2010 the last gig that I had formerly
in a movie business was working for
DreamWorks Animation I had a stint in
the 90s where I kind of veered off into
technology high in a start-up and and
really when the startup crumbled at the
when the bubble happened the bubble
burst in 2001 along with all the other
startups I had this kind of wall that I
hit my career where I thought well I
can't really kind of go backwards to the
movie business jobs that i had had I
kind of aged out a little bit I hadn't
really kept up my network in that area, i
really didn't want to do those jobs anymore but i
had no idea what I wanted to do so I
decided to kind of bet the farm on going
back to school earning a psychology
degree and why a psychology degree
because I had always been interested in
psychology i felt that not necessarily
that i was going to become a
psychologist or a counselor but that
at the very least I could learn more about
myself i would learn more about how to
perhaps better communicate with people
understand people better and position
myself for a new job which led to going
to DreamWorks and kind of back
into the movie business but the
interesting thing about that reinvention
and that was kind of the key reinvention
for me was that i was doing very very
different work at DreamWorks I was not
doing the production and development of
movies that I've been doing before I was
engaged in people activities leadership
development our artistic development
school outreach really building their
human capital and their creative capital
and that was an area that I was very
very drawn into and that really informed
where my career is now and and
ultimately in looking at the plight of
the boomer generation decided that this
was an area that I wanted to to to work
on both from my own edification my own
my own I guess survival my career but
also to see help others. Well we've talked a
lot you know in other
interviews talked about the the whole
thing when you wake up after 50 all of a
sudden or i should say there's an
awakening that i experienced that you
know we look for purpose and for passion,
absolutely, and there's a big difference
yeah whether we have to work or not
now we have the opportunity to bring
passion and purpose to our work and this
is what i loved about well what you're
describing so much because i think you
did that you, you took what you knew and
then really dug in deep yeah, well I'll
let you describe what you did it.
no but I think it's an imperative I
think you're describing something which
and this actually came out in it and the
psychology training is this this idea
that as we get older and the work of
Eric Erikson talks about this very
specifically we are we are meaning and
purpose driven because we get to the
point in life where we realized that its
I mean we may have known that we were
going to die at some point but now it's
becoming much more present and I I kind
of half joke about this in the book to
see that the funerals and memorial
services that we are finding ourselves
attending and we'll find ourselves attending
more and more have replaced the
rituals of our younger years where we
were going to wedding showers and baby
showers and graduations so this is the
life stage that we're in. right, it's funny
funny you mentioned that because I that
was one of the notes I circled when I
read the book and wrote down I thought
that was such a great example of really
what the state of our existence is right
now yeah, so we have to kind of get out
of any denials that we're in
about the time we have left what we're
going to do with this time and I think
that most of us want to leave
a legacy in some form and it not it's
not necessarily and we may or may not
have kids that we want to give stuff to
but I think a sense of of what am I doing
here now and all these cliches about
what you reflect on from your deathbed
and doesn't matter how much money you
made its how many how many people's lives
you touched and and this is true, right?
so so we now have this opportunity to do
it at a time when in our economy we're
being told that we are too old too out
of touch too expensive too overqualified
you know the litany goes on! yes exactly
well and and you know again as I said at the
beginning or our segment, you just totally
speak to one to me, and then to our
audience so I'm really excited to get
into the book and into the how-to steps
of doing this, so lets up take a quick
break we'll come back on another segment
and let's get into your book and how we
recreate our dream career in our second
act! see you in a minute.
