Welcome back to the Inner Edison podcast, I'm your host Ed Parcaut, and today we have an inspiring episode for all of you looking to reignite that spark within yourselves. We're joined by the remarkable Jannette Anderson, a beacon for those navigating the uncertain waters of retirement, seeking purpose, and wrestling with the challenges of entrepreneurship. In this episode, Jannette shares her personal journey of overcoming a traumatic childhood and finding her "why," which leads her to empower others to embrace their significance and live a life of intention. We dive into the pressing issue of redefining retirement in an era where life expectancy challenges our financial preparedness and traditional pension plans. Jannette opens up about her own struggles, including a poignant story about her mother and profound professional setbacks, which have shaped her understanding of the price of success and the power of intuition. We also discuss the undervalued concept of sacrifice and commitment as cornerstones for achieving one's goals. Moreover, Jannette generously offers a "why whisperer session" to our listeners to help articulate their purpose, and we'll provide all the details in the show notes for those interested. Join us as we explore the landscape of "silver entrepreneurs," dissect the impact of the pandemic on business, and delve into Jannette's mission to guide mature individuals in turning their passions into profitable ventures—all through the lens of understanding and harnessing their unique "why." Tune in for this heartfelt and eye-opening conversation that will surely illuminate the path to finding meaning in the next phase of your journey, understanding the importance of your story, and potentially, discovering your own Inner Edison.
