A Second Act, With Wine — with Carolyn Moore

Wonderful.

That's really great.

Now, you talked a little bit about, you know, retirement job and or leaving one world behind.

But in our conversations, it sounds like that's not completely true.

I mean, you're doing this now, but you also could possibly move back into that other world.

What is the transition that you've been through, the journey you've been on, helped you understand about, you know, not necessarily abandoning one career before the next one's ready or not necessarily, you know, being A or B, but maybe, you know, a little bit of both?

Yeah, I mean, I think that's an important concept.

I was introduced to the concept of a portfolio career a few years ago.

And I've really anchored on that quite a bit.

At some point, the HR stuff, the consulting business will drift away in favor of more to pour my wine business.

But at this point, I really kind of need to run both things in parallel, just from a financial perspective.

And, you know, certainly as you build a business like Mortipore, it takes time.

You have to get followers.

You have marketing you have to do and all of that.

All of that does cost some money.

So you need to be able to finance all of that at the same time.

And, you know, I can do both of those things at the same time.

And I know other people who I've spoken to before who are doing something similar as well.

You

know, running two or three things at the same time.

And I don't think we should be... afraid to do

that.

If you can do that, I think it's great.

It gives you possibilities.

In my case, it allows me to do the things I know how to do and do well, and then to take something that I have a passion for and do that in addition.
