	Description:		When Jerry Werner retired, he found himself in an unexpected slump. Getting hit by the retirement blues was a surprising experience for someone as goal-oriented and optimistic as the former Navy SEAL. Thankfully, a gentle nudge from his son reignited his enthusiasm, and he dove back into the project with renewed optimism. The driving force behind Jerry's book project was the desire to leave a meaningful legacy for his grandchildren. Currently enjoying retirement between the bustling cities of Manhattan and Montreal, Jerry reflects on the adventurous journey that has brought him to this point. From his exciting Navy career to his transition into business leadership, Jerry's path has been rich with diverse experiences. I came into this conversation with high hopes, and I can honestly say that Jerry exceeded every expectation. As we dive into his story, he candidly shares the highs and lows of his journey. But what's truly inspiring is how Jerry's resilience shines through as he shares what it takes to craft a fulfilling post-career life. We discussed: How a childhood dream to visit Mars ignited a lifelong journey that shaped Jerry’s life What lessons he learned from being tortured in a prisoner-of-war camp The biggest life lesson Jerry wishes to impart to his grandchildren Why the intensity of reliving difficult memories put Jerry off from writing his book Jerry’s best advice for crafting a meaningful post-career life Connect with Jerry Follow on LinkedIn
