I'm looking forward to the Expertise deep dive in Further Premium!

That squeeze is real. Being that I'm a Gen X, building my Quiet Business Engine is crucial.

Well I am retired at 62. I have lots of stuff to do still, but none of it is to work at a job for someone else or to run a business to make money. So yeah, retired. (Oops I’m 63 now.)
