Special Episode - George Siegal, Buying and Building in the Era of Climate Change - EP 222

After years in the television industry — including a long run as a weatherman — George Siegal relocated from San Antonio, Texas to Tampa, Florida, only to find himself facing the very extreme weather conditions he once reported on. That experience inspired him to examine how climate change and rising sea levels are reshaping the way we buy and build homes.
The result: two award-winning documentaries from Move the World Films — The Last House Standing and Built to Last: Buyer Beware — that explore critical home-buying decisions, construction standards, and the growing challenges of insurance in a changing climate.
To hear George’s insights on smart home buying, resilient building practices, and protecting your investment in an unpredictable world, listen to Episode 222 of Retire There with Gil & Gene. Link in bio.

New Yorker Jill Chalsty tried retiring in both South Carolina and Florida—without success. By the end of 2024, she was still recovering from a battle with cancer and grieving the loss of her husband. Looking for a fresh start, Jill decided to explore potential retirement destinations by embarking on an around-the-world cruise aboard Cunard’s Queen Anne.

The ship departed from Brooklyn in January 2025, visiting 26 ports across six continents over four months. After a long but rewarding journey, Jill came to an unexpected conclusion: the best place for her to retire was right where she had been all along—Manhattan.

Find out more about Jill’s search for a new place to call home on Episode 220 of Retire There with Gil & Gene. Link in bio.
