ABOUT THIS EPISODE
What happens when a career that has been defined by pressure, leadership and responsibility comes to an end? Do you slow down—or finally discover what you're capable of?
In this episode of Logic: Life After Work, we meet John Peck, a former senior London police officer whose life after retirement is anything but conventional.
From leading officers through some of London's most challenging situations, John went on to become a leadership coach, mentor, adventurer and author. His second act has taken him far beyond the boardroom and into some of the most demanding environments on the planet—including Himalayan peaks, the Arctic, the Sahara Desert and the Atlantic Ocean.
John's book Restless: Dispatches from a Lifetime of Adventure charts a remarkable lifetime of challenges and expeditions. His follow-up, How to Add Adventure to Your Life: The Seven Cs to Success, goes further, asking a question that sits at the heart of this episode: what if adventure isn't something reserved for the young, but a way of approaching life at any age?
But this isn't simply a story about climbing mountains or crossing oceans.
It's a conversation about purpose, resilience, risk, reinvention and the courage to keep challenging yourself when the traditional working life is over. John believes we all have untapped potential—and that discovering it requires us to step outside what feels comfortable and have a go.
So, what does life really look like after work when you refuse to see retirement as the end of the story?
Join us for a fascinating conversation with John Peck—and discover why the next adventure might just begin when the working day ends.
