ABOUT US

Meet The Future Of You Team

We didn’t set out to start a company. We just started asking questions. After decades working in financial services — both of us building careers, teams, and lives we were proud of — we were offered the opportunity to take early retirement. For us, it felt like a gift. But once the dust settled, we found ourselves wondering: Now what? We had solid financial plans but no real blueprint for how to live in retirement. What do you do when the meetings stop, the titles fade, and the daily rhythm of work disappears? And we learned we weren’t the only ones asking.

The Future of You was created—not as a product, but as a human response to a deeply personal question: How do we help people make this next chapter the best one yet?

So we started listening — to dozens of people who had transitioned to retirement. What we heard was clear: people wanted more than travel and to-do lists. They wanted purpose, connection, and a new sense of balance. So we relied on our Design Thinking skills  to dig deeper. We then tested ideas, prototyped tools, and refined them in real time with those navigating their own transitions. We ultimately built something we wish we’d had when we were leaving full-time work: a proven, practical roadmap for redesigning life in retirement—realigning your purpose, identity, and daily rhythm.
