Michael has lived a deeply accomplished professional life, but at 78, he’s clear that his greatest achievements aren’t found in his CV. In this reflective and generous conversation, he talks about the values shaped by his parents, the joy and purpose he finds in being a grandparent, and why relationships — not work — have always been at the centre of his life. Michael shares how he approached retirement without fear, the importance of structure and connection, and the surprising freedom that comes from letting go of identity tied to work. A grounded, insightful look at ageing with intention, humility and heart.
