John Hankins didn’t just retire—he reinvented himself. After 35 years in tech and a lifetime of financial experience, John became a certified financial therapist at age 71. Now, he helps others—especially those approaching or in retirement—unravel the emotional knots tied to money. In this episode, John shares what financial therapy really is, how he blended social work with tech expertise, and why it’s never too late to build a life that actually matters.

We also dive into how John’s journey—from social services in West Philly to IBM’s cloud division to a personal cancer scare—reshaped his priorities and brought him back to helping others in the most meaningful way possible.

💡 If money stress keeps you up at night—or if retirement feels more like fear than freedom—this episode might be exactly what you need to hear.
