Once you’ve retired, where do you go next? Hop on a plane, climb aboard a cruise ship, go back to school, get another job? Regardless of the answer, our next guest says it would probably be a good idea to keep on learning. Mike Switzer interviews Andrea Sisino, the director of the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at the Beaufort campus of the University of South Carolina.

After almost 20 years, Mike Switzer retired from Wells Fargo Securities in 2001 as Senior Vice President/Investment Officer and Certified Portfolio Manager. In 1999, he and his wife, Maggie, purchased and operated for eight years the Baskin Robbins ice cream store on Forest Drive in Columbia. They grew the store from a bottom-tier operation in the Baskin Robbins franchise system to one in the top 5% nationwide within three years, tripling sales along the way. While operating the ice cream store, Mike and Maggie received patents for a portable ice cream sink and fold-down sneezeguard they invented and in 2002 started Magnolia Carts, an ice cream cart manufacturing company, which they sold in 2013.
