Liz and Sarah sit down with friend of the pod, Satellite Sister Liz Dolan, to talk about her new podcast Lizness School, which chronicles her fascinating year as a Fellow at Stanford University's Distinguished Careers Institute. What compelled her to move to Palo Alto for nine months? Which of the institute's three pillars of purpose, wellness, and community is resonating most with her? This week's Hollywood Hack comes from a listener who doesn't like “to do” lists: Create a “want to do” list. Next, Liz had a Celebrity Sighting on her recent trip to New York — she saw Anthony Michael Hall. Finally Sarah has two recommendations: A Man on the Inside on Netflix and Bug MD Clothes Moth Boss Traps.  Get in touch on Instagram: @Sfain & @LizCraft Get in touch on Threads: @Sfain & @LizCraft Visit our website: https://happierinhollywood.com Join our Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/HappierinHollywood/ Happier in Hollywood is part of ‘The Onward Project,' a family of podcasts brought together by Gretchen Rubin—all about how to make your life better. Check out the other Onward Project podcasts—Happier with Gretchen Rubin, and Side Hustle School .

Key Points: Jake had a 30+ year career with the Wall Street Journal as a reporter and editor. His identity was very tied to his work. He attended the Distinguished Careers Institute at Stanford, a program for people seeking reinvention in their 50s and 60s. The program focuses on purpose, community, and wellness. Jake found the community aspect invaluable in supporting reinvention. He explored topics like spirituality, improv, memoir writing, and play. These opened him up to new ways of thinking and being. After the program, he serendipitously found a new role leading the United States-Japan Foundation. He feels more open-minded and less ego-driven in this next phase of life. United States-Japan Foundation: https://us-jf.org/ This podcast is sponsored by Good Morning Freedom, my retirement coaching firm.

Listen to ASCO's Journal of Clinical Oncology essay, “Mrs. Hattie Jones” by Dr. Eric Klein, fellow at Stanford's Distinguished Careers Institute. The essay is followed by an interview with Klein and host Dr. Lidia Schapira. Klein shares the mystery of why Mrs. Hattie Jones might have died when she did. TRANSCRIPT Narrator: Mrs. Hattie Jones, by Eric Klein, MD (10.1200/JCO.22.02405) That Hattie Jones died was not unexpected, but why she died when she did has been a mystery for more than 40 years. It was late summer and she'd been hospitalized for several weeks when I met her, as it were. In the era before a palliative care subspecialty was established, patients with incurable cancer like Mrs Jones were admitted for inevitably long hospital stays characterized by slow declines in form and function, managed by trainees like me, the least experienced and least expert on the team. The chief resident on the service, burly and gruff, brought us into her private room early on the first day of my rotation on the colorectal surgery service. Mrs Jones appeared malnourished and frail, with one intravenous (IV) bottle hanging and concentrated urine collecting in a bag at the bedside. She did not, in fact could not, acknowledge our presence or answer our queries as to her well-being or needs because of an induced somnolence by the morphine running continuously in the IV. She breathed regularly but slowly and did not seem to be in distress. The goal in caring for her, we were told, was simply to keep her comfortable until she died. She was the first terminally ill patient I'd cared for, and her isolation and unresponsiveness filled me with sadness and unease. Alone on afternoon rounds later that day, I was surprised to find someone sitting beside her bed holding her hand. The visitor was a sturdy woman a few years younger than Mrs Jones, dressed neatly and respectfully as though she were in church. She looked at me and said, “I'm Hattie's sister, and I'm here to be with her when she dies.” Her demeanor conveyed a sense of duty both to her sister and herself, and her solemnity evoked a divine presence. I introduced myself and answered her many questions about her sister's condition.  “Was she in pain?” It did not seem so, I replied. “Would she ever wake up?” I explained we could wake her up by turning down the morphine but that she would likely be in pain if we did. She considered that silently for a few moments and said she did not want that, although she longed to hear her sister's voice again. “Was she getting enough nutrition?” The IV also contained sugar water with enough calories for her condition, I explained. She said she missed her sister's smile. “How long is she going to live?” I admitted that even experienced physicians could not predict that. She was silent after that and after a few minutes I excused myself to tend to other patients. The days turned into weeks, then months, as the daylight hours grew shorter and the weather cooler and the fall slowly turned into winter without much change in Mrs Jones' condition. I'd greet her on rounds each morning, never eliciting a response, briefly examine her, write new IV orders, and move onto the day's work—rounding on patients being prepped for or recovering from surgery, then outpatient clinic, the operating room, and new patient admissions. Each afternoon Mrs Jones' sister was there by her side for several hours, watching her intently, holding her hand, and sighing sadly. Each day she reminded the team “I just want to be with her,” she said, “so she will not be alone when she passes.” Days on call for me were generally stressful and lonely, testing my medical knowledge and incompletely developed sense of empathy. As interns and newlyweds, my wife and I had call schedules that did not match—she every third night and me every fourth, such that we only had one evening a week together that first year when neither of us was exhausted. I missed our days in medical school when we shared classes, had dinner together every night, and walked afterward to the local Baskin- Robbins; now we work in different institutions, with different hours, and rarely had enough energy in the evenings and on weekends to truly be present for the other. I drew the short straw on my team in late December and was on call on Christmas Day. Because the operating room and clinics were closed, I made rounds later than usual and Mrs Jones' sister was already at her bedside when I entered her room. She told me she came early because she was hosting her large family for an early afternoon Christmas dinner, a long family tradition. Over the months of Mrs Jones' hospitalization, we'd developed a sense of each other, she trusting an inexperienced, young, and tired doctor trying to keep her sister comfortable, me seeing a devout woman dedicated to her sister's soul. She asked, “Is it safe for me to leave Hattie alone for a few hours this afternoon so I can have Christmas dinner with my family?” and added that it would be the first without her sister's presence in many years. I replied assuredly that it was, that her sister's condition had been stable for many months and that I thought she was going to live for a least a few more weeks. She looked at her sister, then at me, gathered her coat and scarf, kissed Hattie goodbye, and headed home. The rest of the day was relatively quiet for a day on call but typical for a holiday. There were a few patient phone calls, one or two patients to be seen in the emergency room, and no emergency surgeries. The hospital provided a free meal of turkey and sides to all the staff that were on call, and those of us in the cafeteria shared a sense of holiday cheer, albeit muted by being away from our own families. Despite the happy spirit there, I was lonely, missing my wife, and sad to have to postpone my own Christmas Day birthday celebration. While thinking about that I got what I thought was a routine call from the colorectal surgery nursing unit—perhaps about a patient needing a medication reorder, or a need to restart an IV, or to talk with a family about a hospitalized relative. Instead, the nurse on the phone summoned me to the unit to pronounce Mrs Jones dead. I paused for a long moment before asking, dreading the response: Was Mrs Jones' sister back from Christmas dinner? “No”, came the answer. My tears flowed copiously and quickly; my heart hit the floor. I sobbed loudly for a few minutes, unable to explain to my colleagues what had transpired. The walk from the cafeteria to the nursing unit seemed much longer than usual. I examined Mrs Jones for the final time and confirmed her lack of heartbeat and breathing. I watched as the nursing staff disconnected the IV, a lifeline that was no longer needed. I sat at the nursing station and filled out the death certificate. Name: Hattie Jones. Age: 63. Date and Time of Death: 1:23 pm, December 25, 1981. Cause of death: Cardiopulmonary arrest secondary to metastatic colon cancer. I put down my pen and summoned the courage needed for my last task—telephoning Mrs Jones' sister to share the news. I do not recall what I said, but I have a vivid memory of the reaction—she was initially silent and then I heard her cry, others in the background joining in when she repeated the news; I remain unsure to this day which one of us was more despondent. Over the course of my career, I've pondered many times over the timing of Mrs Jones' death. Perhaps she wanted her sister to be surrounded by family when hearing the news so that the burden of her sister's grief would be lessened by sharing. Perhaps it was meant to serve as a poignant reminder about the need for and power of celebrating time with family. Perhaps it was for me to experience a sense of helplessness to deepen my empathy for those who were incurable. Perhaps it was all these reasons or perhaps none of them. No matter the reason, after a career caring for thousands of patients, seeing many suffer and die along the way, I have never experienced a sadder moment. Why Mrs Hattie Jones died when she did is an enduring mystery, but her memory, the profundity of the bond between these two sisters, and the empathy I learned from them have lived on and helped me navigate the emotional ups and downs intrinsic to the practice of oncology. Dr. Lidia Schapira: Hello and welcome to JCO's Cancer Stories: The Art of Oncology, which features essays and personal reflections from authors exploring their experience in the field of oncology. I am your host, Dr. Lidia Schapira, associate editor for Art of Oncology and a professor of medicine at Stanford University.  Today we are joined by Dr. Eric Klein, a fellow at Stanford's Distinguished Careers Institute and Emeritus Professor and Chair of the Glickman Urological and Kidney Institute at Cleveland Clinic. In this episode, we will be discussing his Art of Oncology article, ‘Mrs. Hattie Jones'.  Our guest's disclosures will be linked in the transcript.  Eric, welcome to our podcast and thank you for joining us. Dr. Eric Klein: Thanks for having me. It's great to be here. Dr. Lidia Schapira: Let me start by asking you a little bit about your process for writing narratives. When do you write, and what kind of scenario triggers your desire to write? Dr. Eric Klein: I haven't written anything creative like this since college, so I don't really have a process. But I can tell you the process I used for this particular piece. I had the real pleasure of being in John Evans' class. He's a faculty member at Stanford in the English department who taught memoir writing. And so the class was to teach us how to write memoirs, and it was filled with prompts, which was a wonderful way to respond, and it tapped into some creativity that I didn't know I had.  So the prompt for this particular piece was to write about a secret or a mystery. And I thought about it for a day or two, and I thought, I have lots of secrets in my life, but I don't really want to share them with anyone. And I struggled with it. So I was having dinner with one of my classmates, Thanya, and just discussing this because she had taken the class, and she said, "Well, why don't you make it a mystery?" And it clicked immediately, as I have written, is that this mystery about why Mrs. Jones died when she did has stuck with me for more than 40 years.  So that night, I was lying in bed trying to figure out how I was going to write this because I'm not a creative writer--tossing and turning. And about 1:30, I got out of bed, and I sat in our dark living room, and I tapped the story out on my iPhone, and I emailed it to myself, and I edited it the next day. And that was the process. Dr. Lidia Schapira: Your essay has this very factual title, including the Missus, ‘Mrs. Hattie Jones'. And then it starts with this statement, "She died.” We know this, but her death is not unexpected. But the timing was. And that mystery has stayed with you for 40 years. It's a very impactful opening. I thought that was very creative, actually, on your part. Beautifully done. Tell us a little bit about why you have pondered for 40 years about the timing of Mrs. Jones' death. Dr. Eric Klein: It was a very emotional event for me, in part because I was so young in my career. I had never taken care of terminally ill patients before. Nothing in medical school prepared me for that. There was no palliative medicine service at the time. And I think, as many social scientists have observed, is that things that happen to us when we're young, like our first love, always stick with us more firmly and more deeply than things that come later in life. So that's why it was so emotional for me, and I think that's why it stuck with me for so long. I didn't know how to deal with it at the time. Dr. Lidia Schapira: Did you ever have a conversation with Mrs. Hattie Jones? Dr. Eric Klein: Well, I tried. I certainly spoke with her sister a great deal, but Mrs. Jones was unresponsive, and that was by design. The morphine in the drip, and the IV drip was meant to keep her comfortable. I mean, we have learned a lot about palliative care in the intervening decades, so we don't do that anymore. But that was the standard of care then. Someone was in pain, and so you gave them enough narcotic medication to keep them out of pain, and whatever else happened downstream didn't matter.  I'd say one of the other powerful things about this and sort of the key event of learning that her sister was not at her side when she died was that the whole goal of care was all focused on making that happen and facilitating things for her sister and keeping her up to date. And the nursing team was on board with that and so forth. I felt like it was a big team letdown that we let this woman down and we let her sister down. Dr. Lidia Schapira: Let's talk a little bit about you at that very tender phase of your development. You're a young intern, and you've let your patient and the team down. How did you deal with that? And how have you since processed how you dealt with that? Dr. Eric Klein: This was the saddest thing that's ever happened to me. It was the saddest thing at the time. And I think in reflecting upon my career, seeing many sad things, this still resonates with me as the saddest thing ever because of the deep personal disappointment that went along. I don't have clear recollection of how I dealt with it at the time. Probably I just was sad for a few days and moved on. I mean, being a surgical intern in 1981 was very busy. We didn't have a lot of the ancillary services that we have now. The surgical service was busy, and so we moved on day to day.  This memory just popped up to me every now and then in quiet times and in discussions, in group discussions with colleagues about challenges that we faced in our career, and sometimes in talking to young people about careers in medicine and what you might experience and so forth. And so I guess I dealt with it intermittently through the years and ended up scratching my head. And finally, this was a cathartic experience for me to be in memoir writing, to be able to put this down on paper and, I hope, deal with it finally. Dr. Lidia Schapira: You make a very powerful case for storytelling as part of a practice of dealing with situations that are so emotionally complex. Forty years later, what advice would you give a young intern who is also facing a moment of extreme personal sadness and grief, and disappointment? Dr. Eric Klein: Yeah, my advice would be don't be stoic about it. That was certainly the expectation in the era that I trained. It was certainly the expectation for men. There weren't many women surgeons then, but that was certainly the expectation for men. People died—surgical mistakes happen—and we were just told it's part of the game. And I recall my chief of service telling me it puts hair on your chest. It sort of makes you a man, and so you just deal with it.  So there are so many resources that are available now and a very, very different attitude about the personal part of being a physician and dealing with disappointment and other struggles and the learning curve and all of that. So I would say to youngsters, seek out help—seek out your colleagues who might have been through it. Seek out more senior people and seek out non-physician support people who are generally available at most medical centers and medical schools to help people deal with this, talk about it, and come to terms with it sooner than 40 years. Dr. Lidia Schapira: I'm curious to know if you enjoy reading narratives written by other physicians that describe similar experiences of grief and loss. Dr. Eric Klein: I always have. So the Art of Oncology, A Piece of My Mind in JAMA, and I edit a journal called Urology, and we have a section on narrative medicine. And I think that enriches the experience for the entire medical community and helps keep us focused on our real goal, which is caring for patients. And I think that's increasingly hard in the reimbursement-driven productivity era that we live in now. And that's why I think it's important to do that. Dr. Lidia Schapira: How much have you shared about this creative, reflective side of yourself with your trainees over the years?  Dr. Eric Klein: I hope it came through. I can't say that I know for sure that it did. I guess I was known during my career as a storyteller, and I would often share anecdotes usually related to more clinical which is facing this clinical problem and how do you deal with it surgically, how do you deal with it medically, that sort of thing. And maybe less about specific patients. So it's probably better to ask my trainees if I did a good job with that. Dr. Lidia Schapira: Let's go back to this idea that storytelling is very powerful to help us in communicating with each other and processing experiences. Do you use storytelling, or have you used storytelling with your patients in the clinic?  Dr. Eric Klein: Yes, frequently. My career was mostly focused on prostate cancer, and so when I saw a new patient with prostate cancer, even if it was the most indolent kind, the very first question on their mind always is, "Am I going to die from my cancer?" And I would say I've seen lots of patients, and I'll tell you what the extremes are. I saw one patient with lymph node-positive cancer who's still alive 25 years after his initial treatment and living a normal life. And I saw one patient with really advanced cancer who died after 18 months. And I would say to them, "Your experience is going to be someplace in between those two stories." Or there might be a more specific situation of someone facing a particular treatment or surgery and they're concerned about that, and I would even hook them up with other patients who have been through it so that they could experience the story from the horse's mouth, so to speak. I think it's an important part of managing patients, I do. Dr. Lidia Schapira: So let's talk a little bit about the language and the plot in those stories. What kind of metaphors do you use, if any?  Dr. Eric Klein: Well, I had one patient tell me that I spoiled his taste for oranges because when I described the prostate, I described it like an orange with a rind or a capsule on the outside, and the cancers in the fruit in the middle. So that was one that didn't resonate ultimately. Then I switched to lemons since no one seems to like lemons and so forth. I would say the stories generally had a good outcome. Patients want their physicians to be optimistic, and certainly, patients facing cancer want their physicians to be optimistic. And I'm sure I had a lot of other specific stories to tell about specific patient experiences that don't come to mind readily now.  Dr. Lidia Schapira:  What book have you read recently that you've enjoyed and would recommend to others? Dr. Eric Klein: I would say Evil Geniuses, which is not a medical story at all. It's a story about the conservative political movement and the Federalist Society, and big business that set an agenda back in the Reagan era to take all the negativity around capitalism and conservatism out and to relax restrictions on business. And to fill the Judiciary with conservative judges and so forth, and how they have succeeded over the course of those decades to where we are now. I have to say I don't read much fiction. I honestly, I don't find fiction does much for me. I read mostly nonfiction.  Dr. Lidia Schapira: You come across as somebody who is very self-aware, and I assume it's taken a long time to be able to say things about your feelings and recognize the impact some of these patient experiences have had on you. And in the essay, you also mentioned that your wife is a physician and that you spent a lot of time together in medical school, but then the paths diverged. And I'm interested in knowing if these sorts of stories about patients came to your dinner table. Tell us a little bit about that. Dr. Eric Klein: Yeah, all the time. Actually, over the course of our careers, we would definitely share the highlights and the lowlights of our day and talk a lot about specific patients and the problems that they faced and what we learned from that. And I learned a lot from listening to my wife. She was a pediatric neurologist, so didn't deal much with cancer, but I learned a whole lot more about social determinants of health and how social circumstances really impact the patient's ability to cope with a serious diagnosis and recover from it and so forth. Because she dealt with children who came mostly from impoverished families and didn't have the same sort of family or social service support as the kind of patients that I saw, who were mostly Medicare or private insurance patients. Dr. Lidia Schapira: I must finish this interview by asking you why you think Mrs. Hattie Jones died when she did. Dr. Eric Klein: That's a great question. I think the most likely explanation, without really knowing her, but with knowing her sister and understanding the family dynamics, is that she really did not want her sister to hear the news when she was alone in the relatively impersonal environment of the hospital. Whether or not that's true, I don't know. But that's what I had chosen to believe, that she wanted her sister to hear the news when she was surrounded by her loved ones and her family. And I think that resonated nicely with the idea that I wrote about, which is being away from my family on Christmas Day and on my birthday and so forth, and being isolated and alone and how important family is to one's personal well-being and success. Dr. Lidia Schapira: I like your interpretation. I find it both wise and compassionate. And with that, I want to invite you to share with our readers why you decided to send this story out into the world. I understand the reason for writing it. What made you decide to share it and publish? Dr. Eric Klein: So let me start with a call out and a shout out to one of my other classmates, Julie, who convinced me to take memoir writing. My wife had taken it and had a good experience with it early in the DCI experience. And I was reluctant because I've only written clinical papers and scientific papers, and I just didn't sense that I had this creativity. So thank you, Julie, for convincing me.  I shared it because of the reaction I got from my classmates. The dynamic in the class was to share it with a certain number of classmates, and then we were all asked to write a constructive critique of the stories that we've written so that we could get better in memoir writing. But the emotional reaction to this, to my non-physician classmates, was so powerful, and my own reaction to it in writing it. I just read over the proofs that came the other day, and I was crying again, even though I know the story well and have been over it many times, and I thought, "This is something that might resonate with other people. This might be a universal experience." And so it was more of a lark than anything else. But I just thought the world might get something useful out of this. Dr. Lidia Schapira: Well, it resonated with your editor. One of the tests that I usually use when I read the manuscript is whether or not I'm getting teary or whether I'm feeling anything, and it certainly evoked a lot of emotion. So. Thank you, Eric.

In today's conversation I talk with Frances Edmonds, Inspirational Speaker and author of “Repotting Your Life: Sense When You're Stuck. Explore What's Possible. Claim Room to Grow.” When I first read this book, my thoughts jumped to the colourful collection of red, purple and blue African Violets on my sun-drenched mantelpiece. I recalled how I transferred the tiny plants that grew from leaf cuttings, first to small individual containers, then to larger pots and ultimately, I repotted them in the large pots that will remain their permanent home.Frances conceived the idea of  repotting, the ideal metaphor for self reinvention in deep middle age, when she uprooted herself, swapping the comfort and security of her London life for a year in California. As a fellow at Stanford's Distinguished Careers Institute, she researched longevity and related issues at the Center on Longevity.She suggests that when you find yourself stuck in life, whatever the cause, remember that what ails a root bound plant is not the plant, it's the pot. We discuss how to bring that same wisdom to any life changing decision, large or small, career or relationships, to reframe your thinking, reset your purpose and rejuvenate yourself.Following her degree in Modern Languages from Cambridge, Frances became an independent freelance interpreter, traveling all over the world, providing simultaneous interpreting for major institutions, organizations and summits. Great for the brain, she points out that it's a really tough skill because not only do you have to be great at languages, you also have to be able to listen through your headphones to a person speaking in one language, and simultaneously interpret in a second language. We discuss how, when she became “stuck”, she pivoted and “repotted her life.”  Here are links to learn more about Frances Edmonds and Repotting Your Life https://www.francesedmonds.co.uk/ https://www.facebook.com/frances.edmonds.9 https://twitter.com/francesedmonds1 https://twitter.com/experimentbooks https://www.facebook.com/experimentbooks https://www.instagram.com/theexperiment/  Contact Dr. Gillian Lockitch to learn how to live younger as you grow older: Order a copy of Growing Older Living Younger: The Science of Aging Gracefully and The Art of Retiring Comfortably  Schedule a Discovery Call with Dr. Lockitch Join the Growing Older Living Younger Community  to exchange experiences, and engage with others on a similar journey to age well.

On this week's Inside Outside Innovation, we sit down with Susan Golden, Author of the new book Stage (Not Age). Susan and I talk about the $22 trillion market opportunity in the emerging longevity economy from education to workforce to healthcare and housing. Let's get started. Inside Outside Innovation is the podcast to help the new innovators navigate what's next. Each week, we'll give you a front row seat into what it takes to learn, grow, and thrive in today's world of accelerating change and uncertainty. Join us as we explore, engage, and experiment with the best and the brightest innovators, entrepreneurs, and pioneering businesses. It's time to get started.Brian Ardinger: Welcome to another episode of Inside Outside Innovation. I'm your host, Brian Ardinger. And as always, we have another amazing guest. Today, we have Susan Golden, author of Stage (Not Age): How to Understand and Serve People Over 60, The Fastest Growing, Most Dynamic Market in the World. Welcome to the show, Susan. Susan Golden: Thank you so much for having me.Brian Ardinger: To give a little background. You've got a lot of experience in this particular space. You teach at the Stanford Graduate School of Business. You're a Mentor at Techstars Future of Longevity Accelerator. And a thought partner with Pivotal Ventures on their Caregiving Innovation Initiatives. I think the first question I'd like to ask is what drew you to this topic and exploring this $22 trillion market opportunity called the longevity economy.Susan Golden: Great question. I have a background in public health and then went into venture capital in life sciences and health services. And I actually took a career break, which is part of what the book is about. That many people are going be taking career breaks if they're living 100 year lives. And went back to school. And Stanford had just started a new program called the Distinguished Careers Institute, for people anywhere from their fifties to their eighties, come back and rethink what they want to do with the next chapters of their life. Because they're living much longer. And nobody should be thinking about retirement in their sixties because they have another 30 or 40 years to go.And I learned about longevity at Stanford. There's a wonderful center on longevity that is thinking about how do you plan for the 100 year life. And it's very dynamic and it's not just about the typical impression that most people have, that all older adults are elderly, declining, frail need a whole variety of services.Some will, and most of us will need something at some point in the end of our lives. But most people are going to be living very vibrant lives well into their eighties. And this has created a whole new economy that most people just don't know about. And particularly investors and innovators don't know about it.Traditionally, if I asked my venture capital friends, why aren't you investing in this? They would say, oh, this is about senior housing and fall prevention and medication management. And that's a piece of it, but there is now, as you said, a $22 trillion worldwide market right here in the United States.Right now, it's estimated to be about $8.6 trillion. As over 10,000 people are turning 65 every day and they're going to be living long lives. And over a third to a half of children being born today can expect to live to their 100s. And this longevity economy now includes all their spending, the stimulating new jobs that are being created for their products and services.And companies are beginning to rethink their longevity strategy. Not just for products and services, and how could they have a multi-generational. But also, how to have a workforce that's multi-generational. And how to take advantage of that. And most people don't realize that people over 50 have most of the wealth. They're responsible for 56% of consumer spending and 83% of wealth in the United States. So this is a gigantic market opportunity, gigantic innovation opportunity, and a great need to support healthy aging as our population is going to grow in this category. Brian Ardinger: So, with the fact that it is growing and there's this massive opportunity, what are the biggest misconceptions out there? Why do you think more people aren't exploring this at this point?Susan Golden: I don't think they fully understand the vibrancy that most older adults are in. And that they're in multiple stages. And they tend to lump all older adults in one category. All people 65 and older, or whatever demarcation one takes 70, 75 when there's great diversity in aging. And I think we should be thinking about ageless people. But more and what I argue for in the book about stage, some companies have done this well. They recognize what stage of life somebody is in. So, they may be in a re-purposing stage or transitioning out of one career to another. They may want continuous learning and educational opportunities as I, and all my colleagues who've done the DCI program at Stanford were in. To refocus what we want to do next and what are our life priorities. But there's other traditional consumer facing industries that people haven't thought how to reinvent them for people with longer lives and how to support their health span. And this includes housing alternatives and home modifications, fashion and accessories, education as we mentioned, entertainment, travel, you can think of that just virtually every consumer opportunity that is going to have a burgeoning longevity customer that needs to be understood. And so, understanding what stage somebody is in, will give you a much broader perspective about their needs. There may be a caregiving stage even. Brian Ardinger: In the book you talk about, you have five kinds of key stages. Can you walk through what those stages are? And what's important about them. Susan Golden: So, I came up with the concept of 18 life stages that could be divided into five quarters of life. And I know that's funky math. But people traditionally think about life in three stages, which is your education, your working stage, and then your retirement stage. And now I think we have to think much more broadly.So, I think about the first stage of life as sort of your growth stage. And when you're launching and you're first and beginning to experiment. And in your second quarter, you have different stages where you're doing continuous learning. You're developing some financial security. You might be caregiving, parenting, optimizing health. And then the third and fourth stages I think are what might be considered new. Which is, I call them the Renaissance Stage where you're reinventing what you're doing. You're repurposing, you're relaunching. You may be transitioning, may have a portfolio of things that you're doing as I do. You might be an entrepreneur or an “olderpreneur” as people often say. And then the later stages are maybe where some people think about more about their legacy planning for end of life. But people are living to 100. So, I put in a fifth quarter because we just don't know what that whole new paradigm is going to look like. And how people are going to be using those extra years. Brian Ardinger: Well, a lot of it has been driven by other parts of the economy as well, whether it's technology or healthcare and that that's literally changing the way we live. What are some of the trends or things that you've seen that are allowing folks to be more productive as they age? Susan Golden: Well, technology is certainly making a great change in the way we age and for the better. Technology services, anywhere from being able to access transportation more easily. It may not be wanting to drive yourself, but there's lots of transportation services and easy ways to get access to it. Uber, Lyft even have special programs to help you get to medical appointments and interface with medical system. We have delivery of virtually everything you can possibly think of. You can do online banking, but interestingly, not all older adults are digitally literate and that's another innovation opportunity. Other countries have national programs to make sure all older adults have active digital literacy training every single year, not just one, but multiple times. That's where we're seeing it. Tech in the home. We're going to see a lot of healthcare, not just during the pandemic, but continue to be telehealth services. People are thinking about remote health in the home going forward. And then working from home is creating all sorts of opportunities for older adults. Giving them enormous flexibility. We see tech really supporting caregivers. This is a whole new need because there are 48 million unpaid caregivers in the United States. And that's some of the work I do as a thought partner to Pivotal Ventures. They're actually supporting an entire accelerator through Techstars, just devoted for innovations to support unpaid caregivers in the United States. So, we're seeing an uptick and definitely more interest in this area. But most people, I would say most innovators and investors have not fully appreciated the enormous opportunities.Brian Ardinger: Well, and that's what I like about this book. It not only lays out in granular details, some of the opportunities that you're talking about, but it really is for entrepreneurs. It outlines a number of different market opportunities. It gives the lay of the land and a call to action for entrepreneurs to start tackling some of these types of problems and that, that are out there. Having said that, what are some of the opportunities that you're seeing startups get into and maybe what opportunities are being missed. Susan Golden: When people are coming into this industry, it's so big and so many different verticals you can focus on. It's better to focus on one and then expand. So sometimes I feel like companies are trying to solve every problem. And that can happen over time if you create a fabulous platform. But definitely focusing on a particular need, don't create a product that you think somebody will want to find out what the needs are.And I really advocate for multi-generational teams. I think as companies have a multi-generation workforce which is going to be inevitable as people are going to have 60-year career spans with caregiving breaks, optimally at different times of their lives. But learning what somebody needs, the mantra and the industry is designed with not for. So don't guess what an older adult will want, bring them into the conversation early on. And then companies that are, and entrepreneurs that have designed a product that's just for older adults and it calls out it's for you older person. And we could say that the stereotype there is big beige and boring is not the way to go. Is to create a product that might have still features that support an older adult's needs, but could potentially be a multi-generational product. And an example of that is OXO Kitchen Utensils. I don't know if you've ever purchased them, but they're very much designed to be easy on the hands. Great dexterity, compatibility. And they're good for young and old. And they're not sold at it's a multi-generational product. It's not sold just for older adults. It's not sold just for younger people. But too often marketers targeted the 18- to 34-year-old category. And if you broaden your perspective and think about older adults in a very vibrant, and different stages of their life, you will have a much larger market to address.Brian Ardinger: And I think you're seeing that in the marketing sense as well. Like you said, seems like most marketers always target that younger demographic. And some of the things that you're talking about, it's not even the age, it's a specific problem set. Which could, like you said, span different ages as the person grows and adapts. Talk a little bit about some of the products or services that you've seen or some of the trends that are most exciting to you. Susan Golden: The ones that are really catching my attention is new housing alternatives. Traditionally people thought everybody wanted to go to a senior retirement community, assisted living facility. And over 90% of adults want to age in what they call age in place. But their current home may not be ideal for them. It may have many steps. It may be too big. They may feel isolated. So, there are some new interesting housing companies, basically housing alternatives. And one is an example that came out of the Techstars Accelerator two years ago called Upside Home.And they rent apartments in buildings that are, multi-generational. Not just for old people. They fully furnish it so that it's compatible for an older adult. And this might be somebody who wants to spend three to six months in Florida or may want to get rid of their larger home. And it's no longer appropriate and have all the concierge type of products and services that come with apartment living, but they also have all the features that an older adult might need, including having access to caregiving as needed, transportation, food delivery. So, it's a really exciting new model that includes a variety of products. So, they started sort of like in one area and expanded to create a platform that provides now health services to those who live in their apartment complexes as well, which is really exciting. Home modification itself is a whole burgeoning industry. If people want to stay in their home. And so that it enables them to live longer and better and in a healthy way. That's one whole industry. And we're also seeing this in clothing and fashion. Whereas people let's say are active bike riders, but their current configuration of pockets and their clothing might not be ideal for their range of motion or if they have a rotator cuff issue. But you know, you could redesign it so that it meets the needs of an older adult. And that's just some of the things we're beginning to see as people look at a whole range of things. But education would be another whole burgeoning industry. I see a lot of great companies starting up as a way to help people find productive ways of staying engaged from a learning, but also contributing their talents.So older adults, teaching older adults. Older adults teaching younger. These are some really vibrant ways of creating community while somebody is aging in place to support them and make them feel very purposeful and connected. Which we know that social isolation, is one of the greatest risks of aging in your own home. And you have to stay connected in a purposeful way. And then helping older adults find work. Most older adults do want to work longer. They may not want to work in the same position for as many hours. They might want flexibility, but so to younger adults we're finding. And so, as a need very much so to help older adults get matched, where they can contribute and benefit society with all their talent and expertise and wisdom.Brian Ardinger: That's a great point. And we briefly talked about the fact that the workforce itself is changing, whether it's remote work or that. How do you see the corporate environment changing because of workforce and an age group that will be in the workforce for much longer? Susan Golden: I think companies that will do well, having a multi-generational workforce, will do so because they will have continuous learning opportunities for their entire workforce. Upskilling will be critical because things are changing so rapidly. There's a lot of companies right now that are offering wonderful “returnship” programs for people who do take care of giving breaks in particular, both men and women who may have been out anywhere from two years and more.And give them an opportunity to come back to the company they worked with. Retool, upskill, and then they're offered an opportunity to decide if they want to take a permanent position. And these are 16-week paid returnships. And this is happening in a lot of progressive forward-thinking companies.Companies are also providing upskilling just in terms of being financially literate. You cannot have successful aging if you've not planned for a longer life. And the financial services companies have done a particularly great job in this area. Not only for their clientele, Merrill Lynch is one company that I've written about that hired a financial gerontologists to help redesign their wealth management products. But also, to support their own employee. And have them planning for a much longer life.So, companies that do it, not just for the customer, but do it for their employees are the ones that are really going to distinguish themselves and utilize their multi-generational workforce to continue to modify products and services going forward that can benefit all sectors of the economy. Brian Ardinger: Absolutely. So, if I'm an entrepreneur out here listening to this broadcast, what are some of the resources or places to get more up to speed on this topic and others?Susan Golden: I would say, look at the book. And the book and in the appendix has a long list of accelerators, incubators, articles to read, and to familiarize yourself with all the design challenges, the industry newsletters, podcasts. It's a nascent industry, but it's still, most people don't know about it. So, I put in a long appendix with different resources. And check out the different accelerators like Tech Stars. ARP has an innovation lab, so you can see some of the companies that have been developed through these accelerators and launched. And get a flavor of where some of the needs are. But we don't know all the needs yet. This is new, old age is new. We don't know what everybody is going to need because there's going to be such diversity in aging. But we do know there's just a paucity of products and services to support healthy aging. And so that all people can live long lives with dignity and purpose. Brian Ardinger: We talked a little bit about the U S market and that. But are there other markets, obviously you hear about Japan and their aging population. Are there any insights that we can gain from looking at other countries and what they're doing when it comes to the population? Susan Golden: Yeah, I mean, some of the societies that have aged faster have a delayed retirement ages from mandatory retirement to much later. And I think that's a good practice. There's a lot of up-skilling that's going on in other countries. And the one that I mentioned earlier, digital literacy. Denmark does that. Israel does that. It's part of the fabric of respecting and integrating older adults into society. So, we can learn a lot from other countries. Singapore has a whole incubator around how to develop products and services to support longevity. And we have some very excellent programs happening on a state level. But we do not yet have national policies that fully support healthy aging, including paid family care leave acts because we need that people will need to take breaks for caregiving.There are 48 million unpaid caregivers in the United States. And many of them are women. And many of them have to take time off from their careers and then retool. Integrating that into a national strategy will be key to support healthy aging. Brian Ardinger: Well, Susan, I appreciate you coming on Inside Outside Innovation to share this new opportunity. It's going to be exciting times for sure. A lot of challenges, a lot of opportunities out there for folks to take a stab at. If people want to find out more about yourself or about the book Stage, Not Age, what's the best way to do that?Susan Golden: The website for the book is StageNotage.com and I welcome speaking and learning about any new opportunities that people may have.Brian Ardinger: Well, Susan, thank you again for coming on the podcast here.

With the pandemic raging and organizations in flux, is this any time to think about a vacation? In North America in particular, we  have a mindset that taking vacations is a little bit lax and with the pandemic and its stresses that mindset is going into high gear. On top of that too, we can't really travel right now, so it seems like the right thing to do to put off vacations. But is it the right thing? We don't really need elaborate studies to tell us that working flat out is probably not the best way to get productivity higher. So what is the solution to that? That's the subject of our discussion today, with our guest coming down firmly on the side of taking time away from work, whatever the state of the world.

In 2016, The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, launched 100&Change—a new grant competition, that would award $100 million to an organization with the best proposal to help solve a critical social problem. The foundation awarded the grant to Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit that produces Sesame Street and other children’s educational programs, in partnership with the International Rescue Committee. The grant supports programming to educate young children displaced by conflict and persecution in the Middle East. MacArthur is now accepting applications for a second $100 million grant. In this episode, Priss Benbow, a fellow at Stanford’s Distinguished Careers Institute speaks with Cecilia Conrad, managing director at the MacArthur Foundation, who leads 100&Change. They cover the ins and outs of running a big bet competition, addressing the lack of diversity in philanthropic big bets, and a new spinoff organization working to match donors with promising proposals for social change. https://ssir.org/podcasts/entry/macarthur_foundation_program_leader_reflects_on_lessons_from_100change_grant_competition

According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, more than 65 million people around the world have been forced from home—the highest levels of displacement on record. In her recent SSIR article, “Let Refugees Be Their Own Solution,” Emily Arnold-Fernandez, executive director of the nonprofit Asylum Access, and Brian Rawson, the organization’s associate director of advocacy and communication, make the case that better policies in host countries can enable refugees to rebuild their own lives and contribute to host economies. Priss Benbow, a fellow at Stanford’s Distinguished Careers Institute, interviews Arnold-Fernandez about what enabling environments look like in practice and how nonprofits and other social sector players can help create them.
