Karen Grant on Transitioning to Retirement and Just Saying Yes

Episode 9

On this Episode of Fulfillment Equation

In this episode, I am talking with Karen Grant who is a lover of nature, travel, a full life and also happens to be a legend in the Canadian angel investing world.  She shares with me her experience of transitioning from a busy, urban work life to a rewarding, rural, retired life and how fulfillment can transform during periods of change.  We also talk about travel with kids and “just saying yes” to new opportunities.

Together, we build Karen’s equation: 2W/V + 3s + 3o + 7p + 7l
