What if everything you believed about retirement… was wrong?

Discover vital insights from Derek Coburn—author, wealth advisor, entrepreneur, co-founder of CADRE, an exclusive “un-networking” community for top business leaders, and now of the bold new book, Let’s Retire Retirement.

He challenges the outdated notion that your best years come after your career ends.

Instead, he argues that meaning, purpose, and growth shouldn’t be delayed—they should be designed into your life now.

We unpack:

-Why traditional retirement is broken.

-The dangers of waiting to live fully.

-How to architect a life that blends success and significance.

If you’ve ever thought “I’ll do that when I retire”… this episode will make you rethink everything.

What if failure unlocks everything?

COO Gaurav Juneja didn’t climb the ladder—he took the hard route no one wanted… and built the ladder himself.

He failed early.

He raised his hand for the toughest projects.

He switched industries.

He even coached squash at Harvard before becoming COO of a national fiber infrastructure company (Consolidated Communications/Fidium Fiber)

🎧 Discover Gaurav's empowering ideas and strategies around:

• A “resume mindset” nearly held him back—and how he replaced it with a legacy mindset.
• The career move that didn’t work out… but built relationships that did.
• His mantra—“Stay calm in the eye of the storm”—guides how he leads under pressure.
• And why success isn’t about the title… it’s about leaving things better than you found them.

Whether you’re leading a company or just trying to figure out your next move—this conversation is a blueprint for transforming uncertainty into growth.
