Author, speaker, podcaster, and entrepreneur Isabel Alexander knows how difficult it can be to leave a familiar career for the unknown. As CEO of The Encore Catalyst, she draws on her own experience of building and then leaving a successful business to train others who are making a mid-life or late-life transition. In this interview, she shares a number of ideas, including:

* The number one obstacle that keeps people from reaching their dreams.

* How unprepared most people are for the life after working.

* The surprises that nobody plans for (or can plan for).

* Her methodology for scripting, staging, and starring in your new life adventure.
