TEBI podcast 52: Simon Bullock on life, the universe and money goals

In the 11th of a series of 12 TEBI episodes looking at meaning and money during later careers or second lives, Jonathan Hollow talks to a self-trained artist who has made a mid-life new life for herself on the Welsh borders.

Many people dream of painting for a living, but Helen Arthur has made it happen. She describes her success as modest financially, but she is highly focused on her own artistic goals, and on those terms she has achieved contentment alongside success. She is fascinatingly articulate about how she pursues those goals, and how she's moved from a place of safety to artistic experimentation, always seeking new ways to capture the glories of the Welsh landscape that looms outside her house.

In the 10th of a series of 12 TEBI episodes looking at meaning and money during later careers or second lives, Jonathan Hollow talks to one of the global founders of the 4-day week movement, Charlotte Lockhart.

What if we could continue in our current jobs, and have 50% more free time to pursue our other passions, every single week? That's Charlotte's vision.

She has a fascinating story. She more or less fell into the role of being a global spokesperson and influencer about the idea of a better work-life balance – because she and her partner tried this approach in the business they built and own: and it worked! The global interest was so immense, they felt they had a duty and an opportunity to spread the evidence and the methods they tried across the world. And businesses all over the world are now experimenting with the evidence and methods provided by her organisation, 4-Day Week Global.

Charlotte talks frankly about the generational change that she feels is driving this movement, and what it’s been like to face this moment of opportunity at the same time as as a diagnosis of cancer. Her energy is simply inspirational.

In the eighth of a series of 12 TEBI episodes looking at meaning and money during later careers or second lives, Jonathan Hollow interviews writer and publisher Jonathan Clements.

Jonathan Clements enjoyed a hugely successful career as a personal finance writer for The Wall Street Journal, but as he candidly confesses in this interview, for a long time he was addicted to frugality and the future at the expense of life in the here and now. He also worked for Citigroup and lectured college students on personal finance - both experiences he looks back on with less than pleasure, as he explains. In his frank and highly articulate voice, he explains why he’s still restless in his early sixties, and what new challenges he is exploring. He then discusses the lively life stories and examples that emerge from his most recent book: "My Money Journey: how 30 people found financial freedom, and you can too."

TEBI podcast 47: Rozina Breen on taking a purposeful leap into the not-for-profit sector

In the sixth of a series of 12 TEBI episodes looking at meaning and money during later careers or second lives, Jonathan Hollow interviews serial entrepreneur and Gym Group founder John Treharne.

John has built not one, but two enormously successful businesses. The most recent of these businesses, Gym Group, was begun from a single site when he was in his early fifties. Less than 20 years later, it has 231 branches all around the UK, and more than 800,000 members. John speaks in the interview about the origins of his entrepreneurial streak, from his racquet sports career in his early twenties. He played squash for England. He sees the parallels between winning in squash and his enduring will to build, succeed and motivate. But social and charitable concerns have also been woven throughout his career, and he has tried, as he tells Jonathan, not to be changed by wealth and success. He believes in staying close to your roots.

In the fifth of a series of 12 TEBI episodes looking at meaning and money during later careers or second lives, Jonathan Hollow interviews multi-million selling author Héctor García about the lessons we can learn from the longest-living people in Japan. Héctor is the co-author of”Ikigai”, a book about a key concept in Japanese wellbeing, which translates to "reason for being" or "purpose in life".

Héctor explains his deep insights into Japanese culture and its approach to later life, highlighting how the Japanese transition to different phases of life rather than retiring completely. He discusses stress, acceptance of negative emotions, and the significance of community support among older people in Japan. He suggests that any change from our first life to a new life should be gradual, combined with both self-awareness and perseverance.
