For months, Paul has been hinting that something big was coming. In this episode, he finally shares the news.

After 30 years with the only company he’s ever worked for, Paul has officially accepted an early retirement package and will be leaving at the end of June to begin a new chapter in his career.

This episode is a candid look at what it’s like to make a life-changing decision after three decades with one employer. Paul reflects on the emotions, uncertainty, opportunities, networking, career growth, and lessons learned along the way.

Topics include:

• Accepting an early retirement package
 • Leaving a company after 30 years
 • The importance of networking and relationships
 • Career transitions in your 50s
 • Taking calculated risks
 • Why timing matters
 • Preparing for a new opportunity
 • Gratitude for mentors, coworkers, and experiences
 • The future of Carpooling with Paul 

This is one of the most personal episodes of the show so far, and marks the beginning of a new chapter both professionally and personally.

Thanks for riding along.
