GEORGE JERJIAN is a mindset mentor, author, and speaker who retired after being given just six months to live by his doctor. Thankfully, the diagnosis was wrong and as soon as he could, he unretired and set to work, helping his tribe of baby boomers do the same. George has a business degree from Bradford University in England and a master’s degree in journalism from New York University. He has been in business for over 40 years, working as a Chartered Marketer, a partner in US commercial real estate, and a financial adviser. He has authored 10 books, is an Emmy award-winning producer, a Distinguished Toastmaster, and founder of Retirement Rebellion.

If you didn’t tiptoe through most of your life, why would you ‘tiptoe to a quiet death’? It’s the fundamental question George Jerjian asks all of us to consider as he challenges us to re-evaluate what it means to live life with hope, optimism, and empowerment. We all should dare to live Jerjian’s rebellious retirement.

His key point is that every individual has the power to create a future that works for them, where they can flourish and prosper.
