Hi, I’m Dave Smith, the Ultimate Retirement Coach — and like you, I’m living the real retirement journey.
After an unexpected early retirement at 53, I faced all the same questions: What’s next? I tried new things, made a few moves (and a few mistakes), returned to work for a while, and eventually discovered that retirement isn’t about stopping — it’s about starting something new.
That exploration led me to become a Certified Professional Retirement Coach and create Leap Retirement Coaching, where I help people build and live a No Regrets Retirement — one filled with meaning, balance, and joy.
Follow the free modules and tools on this site to design your No Regrets Retirement Plan, and when you’re ready, I’m here for one-on-one or group coaching to help you take the next leap.
Because retirement isn’t about perfection —
it’s about moving forward and enjoying the ride.
Spent Decades as Executive Building & Creating Great Businesses. Loved the people. Loved the Challenges. It was Fun Until it was Done.
Unanticipated early retirement at 53.
I didn't have a "No Regrets" Pre-Retirement Plan. It was difficult, for me & family.
Did Financial Planning, Corporate Business Consulting, I was too Focused on "Optimizing" vs "Prioritizing" things that matter.
