Our traditional ideas about retirement don't line up with the reality of longer post-career lives. Don Akchin, author of The After Work: Finding Fulfilling Alternatives to Retirement, shares perspectives on how to make the longer lives satisfying and meaningful. Session will be moderated by Bill Sharpe, retired News Anchor at Live 5 News.
