How 888 people helped me write a guide
Two months ago, I wrote a piece called “I’m 67 and Just Realized I’ve Been Lied To About Retirement.”
97,000 people read it.
Read that again 97, 000 !
888 left comments.
I read every one.
Same patterns kept surfacing:
The Tuesday problem (nothing to do, no structure, slow drift into irrelevance)
Thirty years ahead, no roadmap
Skills and experience going to waste

So I built something from those conversations.
The Second Act Playbook — 15 pages, no fluff, no patronising “senior” nonsense.
Just what actually works, drawn from hundreds of people figuring this out right now.
Six paths forward.
Concrete first steps.
A toolkit for earning, learning, and structuring your week when nobody’s watching.
At the moment it is £4.99.
Takes twenty minutes to read.
Might change how you think about the next thirty years.
