Key Points:
Jake had a 30+ year career with the Wall Street Journal as a reporter and editor. His identity was very tied to his work.
He attended the Distinguished Careers Institute at Stanford, a program for people seeking reinvention in their 50s and 60s.
The program focuses on purpose, community, and wellness. Jake found the community aspect invaluable in supporting reinvention.
He explored topics like spirituality, improv, memoir writing, and play. These opened him up to new ways of thinking and being.
After the program, he serendipitously found a new role leading the United States-Japan Foundation.
He feels more open-minded and less ego-driven in this next phase of life.
