I’ve read about a couple of the folks you mention - non-boring lawyers, organizational specialists - and hope they’re an inspiration for others who see it’s not impossible to combine decades of wisdom and experience with basic technology to come up with fresh approach to addressing business challenges. The part of your piece I liked best? Giving Zuckerberg his comeuppance. Crow is best served cold.
You're so right - industry specific experience — combined with the roadblocks that have been broken down by technology — have opened a whole new playing field for those who still want another chapter. REDIRECTED, not RETIRED.... and loving it!

Love these stories. Go Boomers. And as someone pointed out recently young ones may be clever but oldies have wisdom. Don’t confuse the two.
This article resonates with me. It amazed me that there are so many of us running businesses instead of retiring.
Maybe it’s more fun running a business than not!
