Ageless quote - 'To reap a so-called longevity dividend you need to make sure that you set up the infrastructure to make that possible' - The Economist

This is a great new quote from The Economist in support of the longevity infrastructure we're building at the CAE.

Unlocking the potential of older years
The Economist. Dec. 21, 2021

(6:04)

“In the rich world 90% of people will now reach their 65th birthday and most of them will have plenty of healthy years ahead of them.

Encouraging people to make use of these healthy years could unlock economic potential that’s being lost in retirement.

To make the most of this increasing life expectancy, to reap a so-called longevity dividend you need to make sure that you set up the infrastructure to make that possible.

More flexible ways of tapping into, say your pension savings, to employers taking a more open-minded approach.”

New podcast interview - Humanitarian Entrepreneur

Image
I had a great conversation recently with Tiffany Moore at The Humanitarian Entrepreneur podcast. Among other things, we focused on opportunities for older entrepreneurs (3:27), what are the biggest myths that entrepreneurs face in the second half of their lives (5:04), the Center for Ageless Entrepreneurs, and the importance of teams. (12:18) Among my favorite takeaways was this: "We work in teams now and those with the best teams win. The idea is ot get yourself armored up so you can protect yourself and your family as you run your business. Then get into a team. That's why we're building these networks." - Rick (11:20) Thanks Tiffany for a great conversation! Link to the full podcast is here: PODCAST LINK Tiffany Moore is a Humanitarian Entrepreneur Coach helping activists looking to leverage their passion for change. Learn more HERE .

Our Ageless Startup

Image
Hi. The evolution of ideas surrounding work life in the second half of life has been significant. I started writing my blog - Sustainable Work - in 2005. From that start I wrote most of the book Ageless Startup in 2018-19. Ageless Startup was published by Entrepreneur Press in 2020 - in the same month the COVID-19 pandemic was declared in the U.S. For those of us working in or building one-person enterprises, the economic turbulance of the past few years supports our position. I'm going to use the next batch of posts to capture individual reviews and interviews that I want to be able to reference later. Thanks for following along.
