Redefining Work and Purpose After 55: Scott Siff’s Journey with Pivoters

In this episode of NTL: Stories of Reinvention, I sit down with Scott Siff, a strategist, entrepreneur, and advocate for redefining how we think about work, age, and purpose.Scott started his first company, Quadrant Strategies, in his 50s — building a global consulting firm that works with Fortune 50 companies on their most critical challenges. Now, at 61, he’s launching a new venture called Pivoters, a job-matching platform designed specifically for people 55 and older. The idea was sparked by watching his own father struggle to find meaningful work later in life — an experience that became both personal motivation and vocational calling.🎙️In our conversation, we talk about:• Reinventing yourself at midlife and beyond• What it really takes to start something new later in life• The hidden value and untapped potential of the 55+ workforce• Why Scott rejects the term “older workers” and instead calls them Pivoters• How purpose, experience, and curiosity shape a meaningful second chapterThis is an honest, hopeful conversation about courage, legacy, and choosing to pivot with intention — even when the path forward isn’t obvious.If this episode resonated with you, I’d be honored if you’d consider sharing it with a friend or colleague who might need to hear it. These stories often reach the people who need them most when they’re shared person to person.I’ve also created a simple community space connected to the podcast — a place where listeners (and guests, if they wish) can reflect on episodes, share their own stories, and connect around seasons of reinvention, change, and becoming. You’re very welcome there in whatever way feels right — active, occasional, or simply present. __________________________________________________🎧 Listen to the podcast and join the NTL community here:https://linktr.ee/ntlpodcast_reinvent __________________________________________________Connect with Scott• Pivoters Website: http://pivoters.com • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scott-siff-5358963/• Quadrant Strategies: https://quadrantstrategies.com/team/scott-siff/• Pivoters (LinkedIn): https://www.linkedin.com/company/joinpivoters/• Pivoters (Facebook): https://www.facebook.com/joinpivoters• Pivoters (Instagram): https://www.instagram.com/joinpivoters/• Pivoters (YouTube): https://www.youtube.com/@joinpivoters#NeverTooLatePodcast, #careerchange, #ReinventionStories #LifeReinvention #DreamForward #RealStories #AviationLife #PilotStories #FlyingHigh #AviationCommunity #PilotLife #FriendshipGoals #LifeLessons #ResilienceJourney #CourageToChange #NewBeginnings #ItsNeverTooLate #KeepDreaming #PurposeDrivenLife #ChasingDreams #HopeAndResilience

Rediscovering Yourself: The Cost of Navigating Life's Transitions with Fr. Eric

SummaryIn this episode, I share my personal journey of rediscovery, reflecting on the challenges and costs associated with pursuing dreams and navigating life transitions. I emphasizesthe importance of identity, resilience, and the spiritual journey, encouraging listeners to embrace their own paths of rediscovery and to recognize the hope that exists even in times of darkness.Takeaways• Rediscovery is a continuous journey rather than a complete reinvention,• Career changes often lead to deeper personal insights and growth.• The importance of relationships and helping others often outweighs professional achievements.• Life transitions can lead to feelings of unease and restlessness.• Pursuing dreams comes with costs that can be both emotional and practical.• Identity can shift dramatically through life experiences and career changes.• The 'dark night of the soul' is a common experience during periods of transition.• Glimpses of hope can emerge even in challenging times.• Engaging with spiritual narratives can reignite one's sense of purpose.• Sharing stories of rediscovery can foster connection and understanding among individuals.
