  1. Mitch Slater: From Broadcast Producer to Adviser to Digital Creator Carl Landau, Mitch Slater 50:37

If you’re into pop culture, great stories and some outstanding (un)Retirement advice, you will Love this episode!

Mitch got his start as a producer for The Larry King show. He also shares a hilarious on air experience with Howard Stern. There’s also his experience as a contestant on a new show (at the time) called Love Connection and his work on the Love Boat.

When Mitch hit his 30’s his dad suggested that he may want to get a “real job.” He went on to have a very rewarding career in Financial Services for 35 years.

But what about now? What Mitch is doing in his 3rd period (he likes to break his life into hockey terms) is very cool. He’s combining his accumulated skills from his days in the Entertainment broadcasting with all his financial advising background to teach financial advisors the modern day skill of storytelling through podcast, video and social platforms. At 65, Mitch finds his 3rd career is very fun and rewarding.
