What others are saying about the series:

“Dori, finally I write to you in deep gratitude for this important service you freely offer. Many months ago I thought I must write to praise your imitable talents. Today after hearing the pod I could no longer procrastinate. You are an enormous treasure! The ending today captivated me; such a delight you encouraged him sharing views of time. I think of the Stoic maxim “momento mori” to add discernment in my time questions. It was inspiring -1 of the best writings I have heard. Like you it resonated with me.

Please hear & know you offer such depth to our lives with your panoply of connections.”

“Dori Mintzer is one of the best interviewers in the podcast world. Her knowledge of the subject matter of retirement coaching is of course, unbeatable and it shows. She knows how and when to dig deep for answers and as a result, brings out the best in her guests. This makes her show a ‘must-listen’ and I’ll be tuning in to all of her podcasts. Well done, Dori!”

“Oh my gosh, what a WONDERFUL session with Louise Aronson this morning! I was writing so fast, so much great info and I can’t wait to listen to it again. So grateful for the opportunity. I’m reading her book, but hearing her “live” was so empowering. Thank you again for this, and I’m putting your other sessions on my calendar. Thanks so much for all you do, Dori.  You are a needed service in our world!”

“I’ve attended your retirement webinars since they began. You are a gifted, thoughtful interviewer and perform a wonderful service for all of us bewildered boomers and those coming after us. Thank you for all you do and please keep it up.”

Sarah Powers

“I am very grateful for all that solid direction and redirection that did get through to make yesterday’s interview a warm and positive experience. You folks are amazing! Before the session, I never fully appreciated how much intelligent effort goes into a successful call like those in your series. I’ve given and conducted more than a few interviews over the years, but It sometimes seemed that even with solid research, enthusiasm, and smart questions, it was a high-wire act with me trying to stay steady and not look down. But what a team you are! I was so comfortable the whole time, thanks to Donna’s expert guidance and Dori’s perceptive line of inquiry. You made it feel so easy, and that cannot be easy. Thanks ever so much for the invitation.”

“You’re such a great interviewer. Kind of like NPR’s Terry Gross–you are willing to dig in.”

Richard Leider

“I regularly attend Dori’s monthly Revolutionize your Retirement Interview with Expert’s Series. She invites interesting, articulate people to discuss their work, ideas, and/or books on all facets of living an engaged, fulfilled second half of life. She has a gift for asking good questions, engaging in dialogue with her guests, and then inviting comments and questions from her listeners. It is directed to professionals and the public and, as a professional, I almost always come away with new information and ideas, and glad I spent the time in his virtual community.”

“When I was first introduced to the concept of positive aging, as the main thrust of my new semi-retirement position, I discovered Dorian’s monthly “Interviews with the Experts” series which introduced me to a variety of experts in the field of retirement and aging: Richard Leider, Louise Aronson, Connie Zweig, Elizabeth Fideler, Kerry Hannon, Sara Zeff Geber, Jan Hively, Moira Allen, and many more. Her insightful questions and gentle style always bring out the richness of her speakers’ experiences and demonstrates Dori’s finely-honed coaching skills. Every interview is filled with new concepts, research learnings, and tools for those in the Third Stage of Life. These inspiring interviews teach us what it means to age purposefully, retire with hope, re-engage and live the life we were meant to have!”
