Questions
"We finally had the time we had worked our whole lives for. So why did the days feel like they were slipping past us?"
—————
You worked hard. You built a career, possibly raised children, planned carefully. The years ahead are finally yours. And yet an open calendar can feel less like freedom and more like a question with no clear answer.
If work is no longer the center, what is? Most people were handed a plan for their money and no plan at all for their life. That quiet, aimless feeling has a name. We call it Retirement Drift™. And it is not a sign that something is wrong with you. It is a sign that no one ever showed you what comes next.
A new name for what's next
Not the end of the road.
The beginning of your Discovery Years.
The old story says retirement is when you stop, relax, and wind down. We believe that story is not just outdated. It is wrong. The years from your mid-fifties on are The Discovery Years™, a season for waking up, not winding down - meant to be lived fully, until the very end.
An annual guided online cohort built around the seven pillars of a life fully lived.
We begin with a foundation week to take stock of where you are. Then we walk together, week by week, through each pillar, with live coaching and a small circle of people asking the same questions you are.
"I have momentum I haven't felt in years."
"I retired early and always had plenty of ideas, but now I have a framework and a method for turning those ideas into a meaningful life. No more worrying about drift. I have direction, momentum, and a future I'm excited to create."

Markham & Jody.
When we first retired, we thought we were living the retirement we'd worked so hard to earn.
But it didn't take long to realize something wasn't right.
We were drinking more than we should have, exercising less than we ever had, our relationship was under strain, and without realizing it, we were drifting through days that looked relaxing on the outside but felt surprisingly empty on the inside. We had followed the traditional retirement blueprint we had been handed, only to discover it wasn't leading us toward the life we wanted.
That realization changed everything.
We began asking different questions, making different choices, and intentionally redesigning our lives. What started as our own personal reset eventually became Retirement Transformed®, where for more than a decade we've had the privilege of walking alongside thousands of individuals and couples as they navigate one of life's biggest transitions.
Along the way, we've learned something important. The most meaningful transitions are rarely solo journeys. They're shared ones.
The Drift to Discovery™ Masterclass is our most personal and intentional offering. It's a guided, live experience where we walk beside you, week by week, as you move from simply being retired to living fully in the years you've been given.
We would be honored to walk this path with you.
You won't do this alone
An intentional circle, asking the same questions.
Who am I, now that the career has ended?
What gives these years their meaning?
What do I want this next chapter to be?
You arrive to our online experience expecting to feel alone in these questions. Within a week, you realize thoughtful people all around you are asking exactly the same things. Past participants tell us the cohort itself became one of the greatest gifts of the program: honest conversation, real encouragement, and friendships that outlast the twelve weeks. You realize the drift is actually common once you see how many good people are quietly in it. And the way out feels possible once you are walking it together.
"An adventure of self-discovery."
"Retirement is not about relaxing. It's about finding a new purpose in the life you still have left to live. This Masterclass helped me embrace retirement as an adventure of self-discovery."
Barbara F.
Cohort, Fall 2025
"A deeper sense of peace."
"I became far more intentional about my relationships and how I invest my time. The biggest change for me was finding a deeper sense of peace about who I am, what matters most, and living with purpose every day."

Answers to your questions
Why a waitlist? Why can't I just enroll?
The Masterclass runs as a live cohort, which means we open enrollment only once a year and keep each group small enough to walk closely with everyone in it. When the cohort fills, enrollment closes until the next one. The waitlist is how you hear first, enroll before the public, and receive waitlist-only pricing and bonuses before seats are gone.
When does the 2027 online cohort begin?
The online cohort begins in late winter 2027. Enrollment opens by application in November 2026, and waitlist members are invited first.
Is it for couples or individuals?
Both. Many couples go through the Masterclass together, and it is a powerful shared experience. It is equally designed for individuals, including solo retirees. You will get the full value either way.
What's the time commitment?
Plan for one live session each week plus time for the guided work between sessions. Most participants set aside a few hours a week. Everything is recorded, so if you miss a live session, you will not fall behind.
Is the Masterclass in person or online?
Everything happens online, in a live, intentional online cohort, showing up together each week. This is not a self-paced course or a set of pre-recorded videos. Markham and Jody are live with you weekly, teaching, coaching, and participating in the group alongside everyone else. You will see their faces, ask them questions directly, and be part of real conversation, not just watch a video from your couch.
What if I'm not retired yet?
That may be the best time to begin. Many participants join in the year or two before retirement so they can step into it with a plan instead of a question mark. If you are already retired, whether six weeks in or six years, you are exactly who this was built for.
Does joining the waitlist obligate me to enroll?
Not at all. The waitlist simply gives you first access, the exclusive webinars, and waitlist pricing. When enrollment opens, the decision is entirely yours.
What are the perks of joining the waitlist?
Immediate access to the guide, invitations to waitlist-only webinars, priority enrollment before the public, and special waitlist pricing. There is no cost and no commitment to join.
What is the Discovery Guide?
It is a conversational guide trained on our complete library of teaching from more than a decade of this work. You can ask it questions about retirement drift, the seven pillars, or your own situation and get thoughtful answers drawn from everything we have taught. It is a wonderful way to begin. The Masterclass then takes you far deeper, with live coaching, guided work, and a cohort beside you.
I'm not sure where I stand on faith. Is this still for me?
Yes. Faith is one of the seven pillars, and we share openly from our own journey. But this is a welcoming circle, not a requirement. Past cohorts have included people across the full range of belief, and those conversations have been some of the most generous and respectful of the entire program.
"I'm no longer drifting. There's a light."
"I started this course and I was definitely drifting. This program allowed me to see some direction. I have plans now, and I'm working toward them. Most of all, thank you Markham and Jody. You helped me so much beyond what my expectations were."

"I can write my own future."
I realized that retirement is not a negative chapter. It's exciting, and I can write my own future. This Masterclass gave me confidence, enthusiasm, and a clear vision for what's next."
