Welcome to The Encore Society! You’ve just walked into the best "social club" on the internet for those of us who have a few miles on the odometer but aren't planning on parking the car anytime soon. This is a place for laughter, legendary stories, and exploring what’s possible in this next chapter. Whether you’re here to talk about your latest travel adventure, share a photo of your dogs, or quietly tinker with a new business idea that funds your lifestyle, you’re in the right place. To get the party started, drop a comment below and tell us: 1. Where are you joining us from? (I'm right here in sunny Las Vegas! 🎰) 2. What’s your current "Encore" passion? (Travel, a hobby, a new business project, or just perfecting the art of the afternoon nap?) 3. A "fun fact" or a quick joke. (We take our fun seriously here!) There’s no "corporate" dress code and no 9-to-5 pressure. Just good people, great conversation, and plenty of possibilities. Glad you’re here for the show!

Welcome to the best seat in the house! We (I) created The Encore Society because we believe your 50s, 60s, and beyond shouldn't be a "fading out"—they should be the headlining act. To keep the vibe right, here is our "Playbook" for how we hang out: 1. We Prioritize the "Social" in Social Media. This isn't a networking group; it’s a lifestyle club. We are here to talk about the things that actually matter: our latest travel treks, the hobbies that keep us sane, our families, and the pets that run our households. 2. Laughter is our North Star. If it’s not fun, we aren't doing it. Expect bad jokes, funny "business" ideas (like Vito’s Concrete Shoes), and a zero-pressure environment. If you’re stressed, you’re doing it wrong. 3. The "Hobbyist" Approach to Business. Many of us have a lifetime of wisdom we aren't ready to retire yet. We do talk about building small, fun projects or lifestyle businesses—but we treat them like a vintage car in the garage. We tinker, we enjoy the process, and we use the profits to fund our next vacation. 4. No Corporate Jargon Allowed. Leave the "synergy" and "KPIs" at the door. We speak human here. We’re just friends sharing what we know and enjoying the ride. The Goal: To build a community where you feel energized, connected, and inspired to make your "Encore" the most rewarding part of your story. Are you in? Drop a "YES" in the comments if you're ready to put the fun back into social! 👇

Here are five themed daily post ideas for The Encore Society: 1. Memory Lane Monday What’s one thing from your past career or life that you definitely don't miss? (Or a photo of your favorite vintage car/outfit!)." 2. Travel & Trail Tuesday "Post a photo from your favorite vacation spot or the best meal you’ve ever had while traveling. Where should we go next?" 3. The "Work-Shop" Wednesday (The Subtle Business Day) "What’s one skill you spent 30 years mastering that you’d love to teach someone else just for the fun of it?" 4. Tech & Tinkering Thursday "What’s one piece of 'modern' tech that actually made your life easier this week? (Or one you want to throw out the window?)." 5. Happy Hour Friday "It’s 5:00 somewhere! What’s the plan for the weekend? Best joke or pet photo wins the thread."
