Amol speaks very openly about how he’s recalibrating his sense of self since turning 40 and learning how to live with grief since his beloved father died. He also chats about his upbringing; how being raised by immigrant parents informed his sense of ambition, and why he thinks we should reclaim that word. They also discuss balancing work and parenting, and how being a father to a new-born again means that Amol is having to adjust what he calls “the hobs of life” – listen to find out exactly what that means! Alongside Amol, we also hear from host of the <a href="https://www.ft.com/money-clinic-with-claer-barrett" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Financial Times’ Money Clinic Podcast</em></a>, Claer Barrett, because what retirement looks like for a lot of midpointers is changing, and Claer has some advice on how to prepare financially for this.</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
