What does a retired CEO do?

What does a retired CEO do? In this case, teach others to succeed in business.
As the founder and CEO of a successful start-up, Randal Charlton could easily have retired on his laurels. Instead, at age 67, he's embarked on a new adventure as director of Detroit-based TechTown — which helps nurture new companies, create new jobs and transform the local economy..
"You know, I could have retired, and if I had I would have missed the best three years of my life," Charlton says. Achieving this kind of job satisfaction meant learning to live on a smaller salary, however. So he and his wife, Lee, worked with his Merrill Lynch Financial Advisor to create a financial strategy that would support this second act.
