EP 15 - John Hankins - How to Give More and Reinvent Yourself in Your 70s

Summary
In EP15, I travelled to the U.S. Georgia, to chat with John Hankins — a giver, a licensed social worker, certified financial therapist, and former IT professional — about his unique journey through life, work, and the evolving relationship we have with money.

John shares how his childhood and family traditions shaped his views on financial responsibility, generosity, and purpose. After retiring from a long career in IT, he reinvented himself in his 70s as a financial therapist, helping others — especially those in NGOs and those midlife and beyond — navigate the emotional side of money.

We also explore John’s deep desire to give back in his life, from putting giving back as a family value to becoming a kidney donor. It’s a conversation about purpose, reinvention, and the many ways we can live a meaningful life.

Highlights:

How early life experiences shape money habits
Reinventing your career after retirement
Financial anxiety in retirement years
Living with purpose and curiosity
