What would you expect a serial entrepreneur to do in Retirement? Stop? No way! Carl Landau, a successful creator of niche magazines and an events planning company, had no intention to stop playing with new business ideas in his “unretirement,” so he created a podcast, “I Used to be Somebody,” started a newsletter for Baby Boomers, and wrote a best-seller about Pickleball. He has a few more ideas on the back burner. He also has his own bobblehead figure. In this interview, you’ll discover:

• How he learned to prioritize his hobby and fit his business around it.

• Why people who are attached to their careers often have trouble in retirement.

• When he discovered he was unemployable in a corporate setting.

• What’s so great about pickleball?

You can hear Carl Landau’s podcast, “I Used to be Somebody,” on Apple, Spotify, and other podcast networks. His website is
