Meet

Three Ordinary Guys

with one Extraordinary Quest:

To spark a movement

that transforms the

'riding-off-into-the-sunset'

retirement expectation

into

an amazing

"Road Trip!"

WE ARE CHALLENGING

THE MYTHS THAT THE WORLD TAUGHT US

ABOUT AGING!

Ask yourself:

What are some of the differences

in your abilities

between you now

and you twenty years ago?

How do you expect that will change

in the next ten years?

But what if

the very reason we decline as we get older

has little to do with biology

and mostly to do with

what we've been led to expect?

What if it went the other way?

What if you are able to

function cognitively, and physically,

as well or better

than twenty years ago?

What would that mean to your retirement?

Well, the myth-busting research is in!

"In contrast to a predominant belief or stereotype

that age is a time of continuous and inevitable decline,

we found evidence that

a meaningful number of older persons

actually show improvement

over 12 years in cognitive and/or physical health,"

(Levy, YALE, 2026)

And the only difference between those folk who improved and those who declined?

MINDSET!

Today, you can absolutely begin to enjoy

the best time of your life

if you choose!

"Hey Friends!

"You can't imagine how excited we are to talk with you about what's happening for us in our lives since choosing to create The Renaissance Retiree Club!

"We are (L-R photo above) Frank van den Horst, Peter M Fellows & Rick Gabrielly.

"When we first met in the spring of 2021, each of us was engaged on our own 'Road Trip,' exploring how best we could level up the legendary in our retiree leg of 'The Road of Life.'

"And our North Star, our overarching value for this exploration, was to level up our lives in a way that would also do good for other people.

"So, we decided to 'road-test' doing a weekly podcast where we would share some of the empowering things we've learnt so far on our own life journeys.

"In each twenty-minute session we would each share our own unique viewpoints and learned resources so listeners had three different perspectives each week on ways to level up their lives.

"And our wonderful, loyal, local listeners found enough value in what we offered that they asked us to do an IRL workshop, here in the New York area.

"That turned into a bit of an annual affair for a few years!

“I've worked with some of the top names in Life Coaching, and I can tell you that Peter, Rick and Frank rank right up there with them!”

- Abie Gabor

Global Entrepreneur

“Peter, Rick and Frank each have a unique approach to 'leveling up' your life, and as a Team are unbeatable! Their workshops always lead to surprising self-discoveries, and are always worth attending!”

- Melissa Mahan

Insurance Agency Owner

“I love Peter, Rick, and Frank's dedication to helping people personalize quick, effortless life enhancing techniques that really do level up your day!”

- Joyce Greene

Real Estate Broker

"But we didn't feel that we were doing all we could. Our podcasts were great, but how many of our listeners were able to integrate what we were sharing, in their lives to make a real difference?

"And our annual live event was exciting and motivational, but how many of our attendees were able to take what we gave and begin to make it part of a new way to live their own lives?

"So we began workshopping how we could get the best of both worlds - regular weekly live sessions packed with empowering insights and life hacks, plus the interaction and support of each other as we explore how to integrate these new ways of seeing, and being in, the world, into our daily lives.

"And, after several iterations, what we've come up with is this... The Renaissance Retiree Club!

"So...

"If you've put your professional life in the rearview mirror...

"But you're not ready to accept society's story that all seniors will just physically, and mentally, decline...

"We are your people, and this is your place. Join us on this journey to find new paths to personal renaissance.

"Make this part of the Road of Life, the most amazing yet!

"If this sounds like something you want and need in your life...

"We invite you to join us in The Renaissance Retiree Club!

Perhaps you have questions...

FAQs

Question 1: Who is this service open to?

We speaking directly to anyone nearly or newly retired, but everyone is welcome.

We are challenging the Worldview that dictates what retirement will be like and tells us that as we age chronologically, our cognitive and physical abilities will decline.

We are offering a place where you can 'retire' those POVs and find a path for your personal renaissance, a way of living your life, each day, that makes this time in your life, the most creative, vibrant, and fulfilling time of your life!

Question 2: How much does it cost?

$47 for each calendar month you choose to run with us.

It is a subscription but you are never locked in.

The option to cancel is built into the menu under your icon.

And we're happy to help you say goodbye, if you choose. We want you to feel good about joining, being a member, and if you choose, leaving. Because that way you will always feel good about recommending us to your friends and acquaintances. Does that make sense?

No contracts. Nothing is hidden.

Question 3: What exactly do I get for my money?

1. The phone app. Android or Apple. It's called MIGHTY NETWORKS and many communities use it, but you just chose The Road Ahead Cafe (our corporate name). Once you've selected us, clicking on the app will automatically bring you to us.

2. Compass Calibration. Five different explorations, one for each day of the week, Monday through Friday.

3. Daily Meditation. 5 minute guided meditation. This is the same each day.

4. Body Movement. 2 minute videos on exploring your body's pain-free range of motions. There are seven different ones, one for each day of the week, Monday through Sunday

5. Pathfinding. A simple way of entraining your autopilot brain with the better-informed guidance of your non-conscious mind. You explore this to see how effective it is during the course of any day in leveling up any challenging situations.

6. Reframing: Daily Spark. A two minute video with an insight or life hack that you can road-test in your real life. A different one each day on Monday through Friday.

7. The Roundtable. This is a member's only forum. You can post (text) any time. This is where you share your experiences, questions, challenges, invite comments if you wish, read what others have posted, support others.

8. Live Workshopping Sessions. Frank van den Horst runs a weekly one hour Livestream session which you can access in the app. He presents a different topic each week, and there is time made for answering questions about your explorations and challenges. RSVP required.

Peter M Fellows runs a weekly one hour Zoom session for which you receive the link when you sign up for the session. There are different topics each week and also time for workshopping your explorations and challenges. RSVP.

We record the Zoom sessions and make the most recent available to members in The Archives. (The Livestream recordings don't really come out well, but we'll see what we can do.)

There are other features we are working on, but this represents the core of our offerings.

Question 4: The Club sounds amazing, but how do I know if it's for me?

Just look, look, look.

You can get a good sense of who we are and bottomline, what really matters is how well you vibe with us as people.

We're on LinkedIn and Facebook posting original content, reposting and commenting on any post we come across that we think has value to you. Rick is starting to blog. Episodes will be available at the bottom of this page.

You can attend our next "HOW TO BEGIN LIVING A LEGENDARY LIFE!" webinar where we talk about how the Renaissance Retiree Mindset helps us level up the legendary in our own lives, and how we are pushing for a cultural shift in how aging and retirees are viewed. Hear our story, get answers on how you can do the same. Email Peter at [email protected] to get an invite.

And you can just make a small, purposeful bet of $47...the cost of a modest dinner out, and road-test us for 30 days. This way you'll get a true feel for how powerful The Club can be in your life and it's very easy to leave if you find it's not for you. Just cancel your subscription before the month is up, say, after three weeks or so.

Question 5: Is there anything else I have to buy?

Because of the science, we recommend members purchase some sort of paper journal that they can handwrite in.


We refer to this as your JEDI Workbook. (JEDI = Journal of Explorations, Discoveries, and Insights).

Some folk prefer to use a computer app, but there is tremendous value in the handwriting.

Finding Joy In The Rain

March 16, 20262 min read
May be an image of one or more people and eyeglasses

"Otto," my autopilot brain, took one look at the weather this morning and saw it as a problem!

"It’s wet and windy! That's going to make it difficult getting things done!"

That’s my autopilot: it is always weighing the energy expended against what needs to be done.

I took a quick deeper breath, paused, slowly released breath and any tension in my jaw, shoulders, stomach, and seat. Then we (Otto and I) passed the 'problem,' over to my inner GPS, "Pathfinder," my non-conscious mind.

The phrase, "It was a dark and stormy night..." came to mind. That's an old cliche phrase used to create atmosphere at the beginning of stories...but Otto got the idea.

This is how I used to look at the weather. It was an essential part of my story. The more dramatic the weather, the more legendary the story. That was my mindset.

Aging is part biology, part mindset. The debate is about how much mindset influences cognitive and physical decline.

The Renaissance Retiree Club believes that recent research really demonstrates the importance of mindset.

And Pathfinder recalling my younger self's mindset, how when I was younger, I would have joyfully embraced the weather, shifted Otto's mindset to a more growth oriented perspective.

Recalling that mindset leveled up the moment.

So, I grabbed my umbrella and headed out. I nudged Otto to see what would happen when he paid attention to the sound of rain on my umbrella, the feel of the air during the rain, the contrast of the cold grey all around with the warmth of shop lights...

Neuroplasticity isn't an academic idea.

It's the operating system that allows me to rewire my brain's mindset so that I am more open to every opportunity for fulfillment no matter what is happening in my day.

This type of shift in Otto's mindset, from closing down to opening up, is a gradual one.

And it’s made much easier because I have my network of Renaissance Retirees reminding me that the promise that today can be the "best time of my life," is choice I make every morning, rain or shine.

How do you handle the "grey" days? Do you lean into comfort, or find joy in the rhythm?

Nearly or newly retired?

How do you feel about what's coming next?

Don't sell yourself short. THIS can be the BEST time of your life!

The Renaissance Club has the practices and support you need!

This is YOUR time.

Are you ready to claim it?

Take us for a road-test for just one month!

My best to you,

peter
