We’re not dreaming about a finish line—we’re designing our next chapter. In this conversation with trailblazer Anne Chow (former CEO of AT&T Business, board director, author of Lead Bigger), we unpack “rewirement”: the smarter, saner, more sovereign way to approach life after (and beyond) traditional work.

What we get into:

  • The origin story of “rewirement” (engineer-brain meets real-life evolution)

  • How to reflect with brutal honesty: strengths, energy-giving work, environments you thrive in, and the ones you loathe

  • The unsexy (but essential) life needs: money, healthcare, caregiving, and lifestyle non-negotiables

  • Why your research + seed-planting should start before you exit (network while your platform is loud)

  • Building a portfolio life (boards, teaching, books, consulting, play) and letting serendipity do its thing

  • Identity shifts after big titles—how to navigate the “who am I without the logo?” wobble

  • Community > everything: social connection as a longevity strategy

  • Partner alignment: designing a shared vision (and yes, more time together can be… an adjustment)

  • The metrics that actually matter: joy and fulfillment (not just status and spreadsheets)

Retirement isn’t the end—it’s your next evolution. This is your permission slip to stop chasing finish lines and start rewiring for joy, fulfillment, and a life that actually feels like yours.
