Just Get Started

Published on: 20th June, 2021

Joseph Hogue is an investment analyst and an online entrepreneur. He travelled the same road as many people, getting a good education and starting to work in a solid job. He figured that's the way life goes - get an education, get a job, work till you've saved enough to retire, then retire.

But then he decided that this couldn't be all there is to life... there are other ways to make money that allow one to avoid working as an employee at a job you don't like, just to save money and get out of it someday. And so began his Work From Home journey.

He quickly learned that retiring early wasn't what he wanted - he just didn't want to hate what he was doing as a 9-5 activity. After all, if you're going to spend a third of your life doing something, you should enjoy it, right?

He started with blogs and learned how to monetize them. Then a chance encounter with a YouTuber brought more traffic to his blog than he'd ever seen and he realized that YouTube was a great way to publish and get traffic. Thus his YouTube channel, Let's Talk Money with Joseph Hogue, was born and he's never looked back!

He's working more hours than most people do at their 9-5 job, but he's loving it. He's found the balance he wants and has created the lifestyle he was searching for.

About the Podcast

Beyond Retirement
What really happens after retirement?

If you’re approaching retirement—or already there—and wondering what now?, you’re not alone. The world is full of financial advice for retirement, but there’s far less about how to actually live a fulfilling life once the 9-to-5 ends.

Beyond Retirement is the podcast that explores what comes after the career chapter. Whether your retirement was planned or unexpected, joyful or jarring, you’ll find real stories, honest conversations, and practical inspiration here.

Join host Jacquie Doucette as she shares her own journey and speaks with people who’ve reimagined life after work—some fully retired, some shifting gears, and all discovering new meaning in this next stage. From finding purpose to building community, embracing play, and navigating change, we’ll explore how to create a life that truly fits.

Because retirement isn’t the end—it’s a new beginning.

Let’s figure out what comes next, together.
