In this minisode, we share a sneak preview of our conversation with Gerald, who took ill health retirement after a long career in HMRC.
Gerald tells us about a shock diagnosis that turned his retirement plans upside down, forcing him to leave work behind earlier than he’d planned.
He talks about how he adapted to his new lifestyle and condition and how he was able to take up a whole new line of work.
Look out for Gerald’s story in full next week, wherever you get your podcasts.
