Retirement Transformed
We can relate! Husband and wife and retired high ranking executives, Mark and Jody Rollins founded Retirement Transformed after personally discovering the need to answer the question:
What does life look like after retirement when you’ve spent your life building a successful career?
Through purpose-driven practice, personal training, and self-reflection, Mark and Jody navigated a post-retirement world that expected retirees to abandon their drive at the ends of their careers. They knew that they wanted to do more with their lives beyond their career—and they did. Now, they are ready to share it with you.
