You might be surprised to learn that living to 100 years of age is no longer a rare feat. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) revealed that almost one-in-seven boys and one-in-five girls born today are expected to reach this milestone in the UK. The trend is clear: with advancements in technology and healthcare, a centenarian life is becoming the norm. But what does this mean for our everyday lives, especially in terms of work, planning, and even our mindset?

The average life expectancy of someone living in the United Kingdom in 1900 was around 47 years. In the year 2000, it rose to 77 years and, according to some projections by the United Nations, the life expectancy in the UK could reach around 95 years by the end of the century thanks to advancements in healthcare and technology. Although many will agree that a rising life expectancy in the UK is a good thing, in the latest WealthTalk podcast episode, we discuss the potential economic implications related to an ageing population, such as changes in workforce participation and pension systems. Tune in to hear Kevin and Christian share how you can prepare financially for a 100-year life, including some steps you can take to help ensure you don't run out of money when enjoying a longer retirement period than previous generations.How will you prepare financially for a 100-year life? Competition Winners: A massive congratulations to Stuart Bowker, Phil Richards and David Fogarty who are our WealthTalk competition winners.The three winners have won a free WealthMap Strategy call, including a token to take a Wealth Dynamics assessment, valued at £295+VAT.As a very special bonus, the winners will also receive a 30-minute debrief of their WealthMap with Kevin to identify and uncover any areas you may not have thought about, to help you build more wealth.Thank you to everyone who entered.

Description: This week is a rebroadcast of one of my favorite episodes from 2019. How Are You Planning for Your 100-Year Life with Andrew Scott? I am releasing this episode the week after the US Thanksgiving holiday. Rather than not publishing an episode, I thought I would dig back into the archives and rebroadcast one of the more impactful episodes of 2019. If you listened to this episode 3 years ago, I suggest you listen to it again. Andrew published The 100-Year Life: Living and Working in an Age of Longevity. He is also the author of the NextAvenue.org post titled Is 75 the New 65? How the Definition of Aging Is Changing. The book The 100-Year Life is about how our expectations of how life might look like when we regularly live to 100 years old. He does this by discussing 3 different scenarios: Jack born in 1945 had a typical 3 stage life, education, work, and retirement. He retired at 62 but passed away at the age of 70. He is married but his wife is a homemaker. Jimmy was born in 1971 and has a life expectancy of 85. He planned for a 3 stage life but work had to be extended. He has 3 stage extended life. He is married but his wife makes less money than himself. Jane was born in 1998 and has a life expectancy of 100. She will likely not be able to retire until she is 85. The 3 stage life breaks. She probably does not get her first professional job until she is 30, and marries later but to someone who has equal earning power. They each take breaks from their careers every decade or so to reinvent. This is a fascinating topic as the traditional retirement age of 65 does not work when many will live to 100 or even longer. We are all living longer. Even though this was recorded prior to the pandemic the points that Andrew Scott makes about what it means to get older are still extremely relevant. The article titled Is 75 the New 65? How the Definition of Aging Is Changing is how a 75-year-old today has the same life expectancy of a 65-year-old 40 years ago. You can think of this in a way that you have been granted 10 more years of life. What are you going to do with it? I think our conversation is even more relevant today as the pandemic is getting us to re-evaluate what we are doing and what we want to do with our lives. This episode is sponsored by Career Pivot.

How long can human beings live? Will it become increasingly normal for one to live up to 100 years? What impact will aging have in our societies? To answer these questions, Pedro Pinto interviews Andrew J. Scott in this episode of “It's Not That Simple”, a podcast by the Francisco Manuel dos Santos Foundation. An expert on longevity and aging society, Andrew J. Scott is Professor of Economics at London Business School, having previously held positions at Oxford University, the London School of Economics and Harvard University. He was Managing Editor for the Royal Economic Society's Economic Journal and Non-Executive Director for the UK's Financial Services Authority (2009-2013). He is currently on the advisory board of the UK's Office for Budget Responsibility, the Cabinet Office Honours Committee (Science and Technology), co-founder of The Longevity Forum, a member of the WEF council on Healthy Ageing and Longevity and a consulting scholar at Stanford University's Center on Longevity. Scott is also the recipient of an ESRC grant for researching the economic longevity dividend. In this episode, Scott discusses how we have been able to increase our life expectancy so much in the last few decades. He considers how living longer is “a good thing”, but also the challenges it nevertheless poses. He addresses how governments and companies can deal with some of these challenges. Finally, Scott examines how in order to change the way people age and improve their quality of life at an older age, we must change and improve the way we live when they're younger, in a conversation well worth listening to.

Murder. Intrigue. And a financial product that bets on the death of people you don't know. Tontines! Welcome to the Insurance vs History Podcast! In this episode, I dig into the rise and fall of the tontine, a unique life insurance product that includes a mortality lottery. How did a financial product build bridges and real estate, fund wars, and even contribute to the French revolution? I'm talking Kings, Insurance Barons, and estimating who would live longest.

Dr. Rovy Branon is the Vice Provost at Continuum College at the University of Washington. He joins host Mike Palmer in a conversation about reaching and teaching adult learners across the fullspan of their lives. We begin by hearing Rovy's “origin story” starting as a student who was advised that he wasn't cut out for college and then proceeding through a series of engagements in formal education across his professional life culminating in a career in educational technology focused on extending access to adult learners in ways that fit into their lives. Along the way, he played drums in a heavy metal band and came around to lifelong learning with the birth of his son. We talk through two books connected to the idea of the 60-year curriculum: The 100-Year Life: Living and Working in the Age of Longevity and Learning at the Back Door: Reflections on Non-Traditional Learning in the Lifespan as we begin to flesh out a vision for continued education and upskilling across an increasingly long work life. Rovy shares his perspectives on emerging technical skills like DAOs, crypto, and web3 before diving into the role that private enterprise and big tech are playing in the certificate and skills-based pathways that are growing in relevance and popularity at Continuum College and across continuing education institutions more broadly. It's a wide-ranging and visionary look at the future of adult education that you don't want to miss. Subscribe to Trending in Education wherever you get your podcasts.

Work used to have a rigid structure. You would punch in and out of the factory, leave your work behind at the office and go home. But as the lines between work and home blur, and all hours can easily become working hours, how can we find balance?Lynda Gratton is a Professor of Management Practice at London Business School where she directs the program ‘Human Resource Strategy in Transforming Companies' – considered the world's leading program on human resources. Her elective on the Future of Work is one of the school's most popular and in 2016 she received the school's ‘Excellence in Teaching' award. For over ten years she has led the Future of Work Consortium which has brought executives from more than 60 companies together both virtually and on a bespoke collaborative platform.She joins Greg to talk about new digital tools that bring the workplace anywhere, what drives productivity, serendipity and the future of work post pandemic. Episode Quotes:What's the point of heading back to the office?Let me give you an example. I was talking to a senior investment banker in New York last week and she said, you know, Lynda, I've just commuted one and a half hours from Connecticut to come into Manhattan and I'm going to commute one and a half hours back. And all I've done all day, you know the answer to this Greg, she said, I've been sitting on zoom meetings. I don't know why I'm here. So if we want people back in the office. And I think most companies do for at least some of the time we have to make it a very attractive proposition. Can we recreate workplace interactions with an algorithm?The fact is that it is really great and innovative and creative to bump into people who are different from you. I mean, we know that from network theory, don't we? That those diversity ideas is what makes for innovation.So the question I think is twofold. As we go back to the office, in a physical way, how do we create more serendipity? And secondly, the point you raise Greg, which is, is the more that we can do virtually to create serendipity. And I think the answer to both of those is we can, it takes intentional design.Seeing trends in workplace culture & environmentI felt that about now, and I'm speaking April / May of 2022, people would begin to say, you know I think we could just go back to how we were. And I thought it was really important that all of us together said, no, we were not going to go back. There were many things wrong with how we worked. Show Links:Guest Profile:Faculty Profile at London Business SchoolSpeaker Profile at London Speaker BureauLynda Gratton's WebsiteLynda Gratton on LinkedInLynda Gratton on TwitterLynda Gratton on FacebookLynda Gratton on TEDxLondonBusinessSchoolRedesiging Work WebsiteHer Work:Article by Lynda GrattonRedesigning Work: How to Transform Your Organization and Make Hybrid Work for Everyone (Management on the Cutting Edge)The New Long Life: A Framework for Flourishing in a Changing WorldThe 100-Year Life: Living and Working in an Age of LongevityThe Key: How Corporations Succeed by Solving the World's Toughest ProblemsGlow: How You Can Radiate Energy, Innovation, and SuccessHot Spots: Why Some Teams, Workplaces, and Organizations Buzz with Energy - And Others Don'tThe Exceptional Manager: Making the DifferenceThe Democratic Enterprise: Liberating Your Business With Freedom, Flexibility and Commitment Living Strategy: Putting People at the Heart of Corporate Purpose

Lynda Gratton is a Professor of Management Practice at London Business School and the CEO and founder of HSM advisory. Lynda has authored over ten books, including The 100-Year Life: Living and Working in an Age of Longevity co-authored together with Andrew J. Scott. In her new book, Redesigning Work: How to Transform Your Organization and Make Hybrid Work for Everyone, Lynda discusses how to deliberately redesign work taking into account not only the specifics of each job, and the new possibilities for flexibility around time and place but also a range of other technological, social and ethical factors. She introduces a powerful framework for matching the needs of each type of work, by considering four productivity modes modes: energy, focus, coordination, and collaboration. Based on her experience supporting companies around the world, Lynda suggests three groups that play an integral role in redesigning work: leaders in their narrative and role modeling, line managers in working and building accountabilities, and the employees themselves. Together with Martin Reeves, Chairman of BCG Henderson Institute, Lynda dives deeper into how to embrace the historic inflexion point we currently find ourselves at, to redesign work for better employee satisfaction and retention, better customer engagement, and higher productivity. *** About the BCG Henderson Institute The BCG Henderson Institute is the Boston Consulting Group's think tank, dedicated to exploring and developing valuable new insights from business, technology, economics, and science by embracing the powerful technology of ideas. The Institute engages leaders in provocative discussion and experimentation to expand the boundaries of business theory and practice and to translate innovative ideas from within and beyond business.

In this episode Prof. Greg Clark speaks to Prof. Lynda Gratton, Professor of Management Practise at the London Business School (LBS) and best-selling author. We'll be exploring what we need to do now if we are to live to 100. What do businesses, policy makers and place leaders need to be thinking about now as we prepare for the age of longevity? Where are the opportunities for innovation in how we imagine and shape the homes, workplaces and communities of the future? And what can the UK learn from health systems and business practises around the world, especially the oldest population on the planet: Japan? Over the last 20 years Lynda has written extensively about the interface between people and organisations and her writing has been translated into 15 languages. She directs ‘Human Resource Strategy in Transforming Companies' at the London School of Business, considered the world's leading programme on human resources. Her work covers the link between business and HR strategy, the new ways of working, the rise of complex collaboration and the impact of a changing world on employment and work. In 2016 she and her co-author, Professor Andrew Scott published “The 100-Year Life: Living and Working in an Age of Longevity” which became a bestseller in Japan. It was followed last year by “The New Long Life: A Framework for Flourishing in a Changing World”. Lynda is a Fellow of the World Economic Forum and has chaired the WEF Council of Leadership. She was also invited by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to serve as the only foreigner on Japan's “Council for designing the 100-year-life society”.

What longevity means in societal terms, both in terms of societal expectations and social policy. What an age-friendly city looks like, how certain cities are more age-friendly than others, and what they look and feel like for older people. The current technology frontiers that are contributing to the vision of the ‘hundred-year life' (robots, materials, bio-med etc.) and what the emerging business models look like. As innovations are helping us live longer lives as individuals (food, medicine, health, habitat, water, environment) what are the innovations that are going to enable whole societies to live and thrive for longer?  How Japan might show us a vision of the future in terms of mobility, cities, real estate and tech. Key differences with the UK, and what are the limitations are in any country for people living a 100-year life. What Britain's local leaders and place-makers can be learning from abroad, including Japan and other countries that are important peers to Britain.    To read Lynda's recent articles in MIT Sloan Management Review on the future of work post-COVID, which she mentioned in her interview, click here.

The Agenda

For this new episode of the Building Bridges podcast, I'm happy to share the conversation I had with Andrew Scott.I discovered Andrew's work (and that of his co-author Lynda Gratton) a few years ago when I read their book The 100-Year Life: Living and Working in an Age of Longevity. This book influenced my own work profoundly as I became more and more convinced that increased longevity and ageing of the population play a huge part in shaping the future of work.The second book they wrote together was published in 2020. The New Long Life: A Framework for Flourishing in a Changing World is as good as the first. It offers a more practical roadmap for individuals and governments. Adapting to the age of longevity involves all the dimensions of our lives (love, leisure, family life, savings, training, health….). It would be much too shortsighted to be content with just forcing people to postpone retirement.I read the second book during the pandemic and couldn't help but wonder, “What does the pandemic change?”, “Doesn't it make this book all the more relevant?”. That's why I'm thrilled to share this conversation I had with Andrew in which I asked him all my questions about the books he wrote with Lynda Gratton, and the impact of the pandemic.Andrew J. Scott is Professor of Economics at London Business School and a consulting scholar at Stanford University's Center on Longevity. He is co-founder of The Longevity Forum, an organisation aimed at achieving healthier longer lives, and member of the Cabinet Office Honours Committee (Science and Technology).How you age isn't destiny. It is profoundly influenced by your actions and beliefs. If you take a chronological approach to your age, then this encourages you to believe ageing occurs at the same fixed, invariant rate for everyone — one year every year. But from the perspective of the malleability of age, this is far from the case. It is fascinating to realise that only a quarter of how you age is genetically determined. That leaves considerable scope for your own actions, as well as events beyond your control, to exert an influence.The natural rhythm and structure of your life narrative is marked by calendar time and the passing of the years. In the face of longevity, if we want to reimagine age then we must first decouple the idea of a simple link between time and age. That requires imagining your age is malleable — as you live longer and with a greater chance of good health, then what it means to be forty, sixty or eighty years old will change in profound ways. It is the malleability that underpins the redesign of life stages. I hope you enjoy listening to this podcast! Please share it with someone else who you believe might like it too

L’allongement de la vie et la transition démographique marquent une révolution dans notre rapport au travail et à la “carrière”, comme Nicolas et moi en avons parlé dans ce podcast “A deux voix” : Qu’est-ce “faire carrière” aujourd’hui ?La vie en trois phases (formation, travail, puis retraite) était la norme dans le paradigme fordiste. Elle associait une “phase” à chaque âge de la vie. Les carrières étaient linéaires et l’âge chronologique était déterminant.Après la dernière révolution technologique et grâce à une longévité inédite dans l’histoire humaine, les institutions de cet époque-là, pensées pour soutenir la vie active en trois phases (l’école, les syndicats, la sécurité sociale, les systèmes de retraite), volent en éclat. Il en va de même pour toutes les idées concernant l’âge.Dans leur livre précédent, The 100-Year Life: Living and Working in an Age of Longevity (2016), Gratton et Scott évoquaient déjà ce à quoi l’avenir du travail pourrait ressembler dans un contexte de vie (beaucoup) plus longue. Dans un livre publié cette année, les deux auteurs poursuivent cette réflexion entamée dans The 100-Year Life.L’une des idées les plus remarquables du livre, c’est que “l’âge est malléable” et que nous devrions cesser de nous focaliser sur l’âge chronologique pour regarder plutôt l’âge biologique et l’âge subjectif. Après tout, l’âge chronologique (indiqué sur nos actes de naissance) est une “invention” des bureaucraties modernes. D’ailleurs, avant le XXe siècle, on ne fêtait pas les anniversaires ! Ce qui comptait, c’était la validité de la personne et son rôle dans la communauté.L’âge est malléable. Comme le révèlent les travaux les plus récents des neurologues, notre cerveau a une plasticité surprenante. Quand votre cerveau est-il au mieux de sa forme ? Eh bien, cela dépend de ce que vous essayez de faire. C’est probablement à la fin de l'adolescence que vous serez le plus rapide en calcul mental. Mais c’est dans la trentaine que votre mémoire à court terme atteint son maximum. Quant à votre compréhension sociale et culturelle, elle ne sera à son apogée qu’une, deux ou trois décennies plus tard !Ces descriptions ne s'appliquent pas à tout le monde, bien sûr. Il existe des très grandes variations au sein même des “classes” d'âge. Ce qu’il faut savoir, c’est que la stimulation constante de votre cerveau contribuera à en maintenir la plasticité et la performance. Comme l’écrivent Andrew Scott et Lynda Gratton :La vraie raison pour laquelle vous ne pouvez pas apprendre de nouveaux tours à un vieux chien, ce n'est pas parce que le chien est devenu vieux, mais parce qu'il a cessé d’apprendre continuellement de nouveaux tours.Andrew J. Scott est professeur d'économie à la London Business School et chercheur consultant au Center on Longevity de l'université de Stanford. Lynda Gratton, elle, est professeure de gestion à la même London Business School, et psychologue de formation. À eux deux, ils abordent le sujet de la longévité sous toutes ses coutures. C’est en effet un phénomène qui intéresse autant les neurologues et les médecins que les économistes, les sociologues et les philosophes. C’est pour cela qu’ils ont souhaité aborder ce thème en mêlant plusieurs disciplines.Les experts et les politiques ont tendance à ne regarder le vieillissement que comme un fardeau et un “problème”. Les systèmes de retraite ne seront plus soutenables, dit-on, si le ratio actifs / inactifs atteint un certain seuil. C'est pourquoi, disent-ils, il faut augmenter l'âge de la retraite. À quelques exceptions, les gouvernements comme les employeurs agissent comme s’il ne fallait rien changer à la vie en trois phases, seulement l’ajuster ici ou là, par exemple, en allongeant la deuxième phase. Pour Gratton et Scott, ce sont en réalité toutes les institutions et les catégories qu’il s’agit de voir autrement ! L’âge n’est pas un “fardeau”, c’est un cadeau, pourvu qu’on le regarde autrement. Par exemple, il est indispensable de remodeler l'éducation pour en faire un processus qui dure toute la vie plutôt qu'un service que l’on ne consomme qu'à l'adolescence. De plus, les employeurs doivent mieux comprendre la valeur des travailleurs plus âgés. Un management qui sait tirer le meilleur parti des différentes générations est fait de souplesse et d’empathie : on ne devrait pas être obligé de prendre de plus en plus de responsabilités à mesure que l’on vieillit, on vous offre des opportunités de mobilité horizontale pour continuer à vous stimuler, et il est possible de s’arrêter un temps pour s’occuper d’un parent ou d’un enfant, sans voir sa carrière pénalisée.Pour mieux dénoncer les stéréotypes associés aux générations (baby-boomers, millennials, etc.), les auteurs s’appuient sur les travaux des chercheurs sur la longévité. Ils montrent notamment que les travailleurs âgés font souvent preuve d'une “intelligence cristallisée" grâce à laquelle "les informations, les connaissances, la sagesse et les stratégies s'accumulent au fil du temps".Mais il est tout aussi important que les individus eux-mêmes fassent preuve d’innovation et deviennent des “pionniers” de la vie multi-phases, pour mieux imaginer leur vie autrement en investissant dans la formation continue, en réfléchissant au travail qu'ils pourraient faire par la suite et en restant en contact avec les jeunes.Faisant valoir que "actuellement, trop de politiques d'entreprise sont incompatibles avec l'épanouissement humain", Gratton et Scott proposent un nouveau modèle d'entreprise qui invite les employeurs et les gouvernements à favoriser un environnement de travail plus tolérant à l'égard des parcours professionnels longs et non linéaires, et à assurer un meilleur équilibre entre vie professionnelle et vie privée. C’est un élément essentiel pour les travailleurs comme les chefs d'entreprise qui cherchent à s'adapter à un monde en transition.Le sujet nous tient à coeur. C’est pourquoi il occupe en place centrale dans la grille de Nouveau Départ. J’ai récemment interviewé le professeur Andrew Scott dans le cadre de Building Bridges.

In today's episode I speak with Tricia Nelson, Partner at EY and head of their 300 person strong People Consulting Business. This is an interview that's been almost two years in the making and I'm pleased to say, it was certainly worth the wait. When you hear about a senior leader like Trish, in one of the world's biggest consulting businesses, it's easy to think they've followed the traditional consulting career path. Went to a good university, got on the right grad scheme and made the right moves to climb the ladder from there. But as you'll hear in today's interview, Trish's story has been anything but. In today's episode we dig into Trish's story and discuss the hugely important topic of diversity. An area that Trish is extremely passionate about having seen first-hand many of the challenges that underrepresented groups face in climbing the career ladder in our industry. In this episode, we go deep into the topic of diversity and inclusion and cover some really important and impactful areas, many of which I've not covered with any guest before, including: - The challenges for young people right now and Trish's own experiences of building a career having left school at 18 and not going to university at a time when this wasn't the done thing. - The challenges that our industry faces when it comes to diversity and what consulting leaders like you can and should be doing to help increase awareness and accessibility of consulting as a career and supporting those from underrepresented groups to thrive within the industry. - And the unseen diversity impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic and the hidden challenges that the new ‘remote working world' creates that consulting firms need to think about. In an industry that is still largely dominated by white men, Trish is both a fantastic role model and a true champion for those underrepresented in our industry. Whether you're a woman who's looking for advice and guidance on how to climb within the industry or you're one of the privileged many – white men like myself – that want to know what you can do to help those in your team to thrive, you're going to love this episode.

In the twelfth episode of The Power of Good Intentions, Aliou Sidibe dives into the story of Triston Francis who is a Consultant at Boston Consulting Group.Triston grew up in Queens, NY before leaving his family to go to boarding school in Massachusetts then New Jersey. As an 11-year-old, this was a big transition and he faced a crossroad which defined the rest of his life. After crying himself to bed for many nights, dealing with the feeling of "not being good enough", and not understanding why his environment had suddenly changed, he came to the understanding that the only thing he could control was his reaction to what life threw at him. He did not know what life was going to throw next, but he knew what he was going to do when that happened. With this principle in mind and a few others, he went on to create the life he wanted. Today, Triston has achieved all types of successes in his professional life by going to top schools and working for some of the best companies. However, he defines success not only as a professional success but as the ability to create a life full of meaningful relationships with the people he cares about.In today's episode, we talk about his journey to getting to where he is today, the challenges he faced, and his hopes to impact the people he cares about. Connect with Triston: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tristonfrancis/His Website: https://www.tristonfrancis.com/aboutBook mentioned: The 100-Year Life – Living and Working in an Age of Longevity by Andrew Scott and Lynda Gratton-- - - - - - Thanks for listening.

I find stories of leaders who have successfully reinvented themselves mid-career both compelling and informative. This is mainly because I have been on this journey for the past 4 years and am always on the look out for guides. Chip Conley has successfully made this transition, and is now helping many others take the same journey. Rather than being a “sage from the stage”, Chip describes himself as a “guide from the side”. His story of going from founder and CEO of the leading chain of boutique hotels in the US, Joie de Vivre, to being essentially an intern at Airbnb and mentor to founder Brian Chesky, will be of interest to anyone feeling overwhelmed by changes in their industry, or worried about becoming irrelevant in the workplace as a result of technology or other disruptive forces shaping our world of work. As a result of his experiences at Airbnb, and the success of his latest book "Wisdom at Work: The Making of a Modern Elder," Chip has recently launched The Modern Elder Academy, with the tag line: Where midlife mastery is the launchpad to growing whole, not old. In our conversation he tells his story. What was covered: The emergence of a 20-year irrelevancy gap in the workplace for people in midlife What is The Modern Elder and how companies can benefit from age diversity in the workplace Four key lessons for bridging the irrelevancy gap and re-establishing value of this age category: Evolve, Learn, Collaborate, Counsel Key Learnings and Takeaways: How people in midlife can repurpose themselves as modern elders in order to integrate their mastery and wisdom with the digital intelligence and focus of younger generations Mutual mentorship - a new form of relationship where both sides are simultaneously learning from and teaching each other The need to regard midlife as a transition period and create modern rituals to support that transition Links and Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Wisdom at Work: The Making of the Modern Elder, a book by Chip Conley The Modern Elders Academy Joie de Vivre hotels Airbnb Burning Man Fest300 Atlassian Man's Search for Meaning, a book by Viktor E.

His research, writing, and talks focus on the macro trends that shape the global environment, from technology, longevity, globalization, through to interest rates and exchange rates. His work on longevity emphasizes the positive impact of a longevity dividend. It isn’t just that there are more old people but that how we are aging is changing. Andrew’s 2016 book, The 100-Year Life, on this theme, became an award-winning global bestseller translated into 15 languages. He has been an advisor to a range of corporates and governments on a broad range of economic issues and an award-winning public speaker, combining, insight, clarity, humor, and a motivation to action for anyone who hears him.   Key Takeaways: [1:31] Marc welcomes you to Episode 127 of the Repurpose Your Career podcast.

The more people Marc reaches, the more people he can help. [2:22 Next week, Marc will interview Tami Forman, who is the executive director of Path Forward, a non-profit organization that creates mid-career returnship programs. (If that interview is delayed, Marc will read a chapter from the next edition of Repurpose Your Career.) [2:58] This week, Marc is speaking with Andrew Scott, co-author of The 100-Year Life: Living and Working in an Age of Longevity. Marc introduces Andrew with his bio. [4:09] Marc welcomes Andrew to the Repurpose Your Career podcast. [4:27] Marc reached out to Andrew after reading his article “Is 75 the New 65? How the Definition of Aging Is Changing,” on NextAvenue.org. Having interviewed authors Ashton Applewhite, Patti Temple Rocks, and Chris Farrell about ageism, Marc wanted to segue with Andrew into talking more about aging. [4:58] Andrew says we have made a mess about age. Aging brings to mind ‘end of life.’ Chronologically, everyone’s aging at exactly the same rate — one year, every year. [5:30] As a macroeconomist, Andrew looks at trends that shape the world. He noticed that, on average, we are living longer and healthier lives. Governments are worried about workers aging out of the workforce, causing problems for Social Security and pensions. [6:12] Andrew wonders how does the good news that we are living longer and healthier turn into the bad news that we will be a burden on society? There are two things happening. First, as the birth rate declines and people live for longer, the average citizen is older. Everyone focuses on that. [6:36] The exciting thing is that, on average, we are aging differently. In essence, we are younger for longer. A 78-year-old in the U.S. or the UK today has the same mortality rate as a 65-year-old from 40 years ago. We are in better health, but because we look just at chronological age, we don’t notice that. We need to look at biological age. [7:33] Marc turns 63 next month. Marc lives a very different life at 63 than his father lived at 63. Marc’s father had been forced to retire at 60. He lived for 15 more years, but it figuratively killed him. Marc will not let his life pass on. [8:12] Chronological age tells how many years since you were born. Mortality risk tells how many years until you die. The average American has never been older but we are also younger because our mortality rate is lower. We have a lot more years to go. [9:05] In the Twentieth Century, we created a life based on a 70-year life expectancy — a three-stage life of education, work, and retirement. That creates a sociological sense of age — what you should be doing at a certain age. That’s where corporate ageism comes from. [9:38] The average age of the Rolling Stones is seven or eight years older than the average age of the U.S. Supreme Court. We need to change our sociological norms. Andrew points to CareerPivot.com and NextAvenue.org as examples of experimenting with new rules for longer lives. [10:10] The New Yorker, in 1937, first publicly used the word, ‘teenager.’ It was a new concept. In the 1950s, it became established. Previously, one was considered an adult by around age 14. [10:54] For most of human history, people were not aware of the day or year they were born. They were “fit and healthy,” or “a grandfather,” or “a mother.” They didn’t know their chronological age. They had a more “real” sense of age. [11:26] Starting in the Nineteenth Century, governments started keeping accurate birth records. In the Twentieth Century, birthday celebrations and birthday parties began. The song, “Happy Birthday To You”, became popular in the ’30s. Once governments began tracking people by age, they started separating them by age, for school and work. [12:04] The greatest example of this age separation is retirement at age 65 when you are “old.” Because we are living longer, considering 65 to be old doesn’t work anymore. People age differently. There is a great diversity in how healthy and active people are over age 65. [12:43] Marc talks about 80-year-olds in the Ajijic Hiking Group, who easily beat him in hiking. These 80-year-olds look at life differently than Marc would have thought they do. It is a mindset. Many are retirees. Marc isn’t retiring, at least for the next 15 years. He just moved his business down to Ajijic. [13:41] The Twentieth-Century three-stage life worked for a 70-year lifespan. But we learned in the Twentieth Century that age is malleable. You can influence how you age and how long you will live. Diet, exercise, community, and relationships all make a difference. Having engagement and a sense of purpose helps you age better. [14:30] How do we create this new, longer life, when the three-stage life has us retiring at age 65? How are you engaging in the world and what is your sense of purpose? We are in a social experiment. We need to find how to use time in productive ways. [16:19] Anthropologists call an ambiguous threshold of transition a liminality. Teenage years are a liminality. The years around retirement are a new liminality. [17:04] In Andrew’s book, Jane graduates from college, marries Jorge, and they take turns reinventing themselves every 15 years. This is foreign to how Marc was raised, to have a 40-year career leading to retirement. [18:14] In a longer life, it is important to keep your options open. Reinvention comes by your choice or from circumstances given to you, like being laid off. Reinvention is one of the challenges of a longer life. Andrew tells 40-year-olds that they have more working years ahead of them than they have behind them. That shocks them. [19:22] In Arizona, on January 1, 1960, Del Webb, opened the first Sun City with five model homes and a strip mall. 10,000 cars drove in the first day. In those days, people of retirement age could expect to live 10 or 15 years. Today, in a married couple of 65, one of the spouses has a good chance of living to 100. What are they going to do? [20:20] The UK Pension was introduced in 1908. Since then, life expectancy has increased by 36 years. Andrew says it is crazy that the three-stage life has not been changed much in that time. We’re biologically aging better. Most of these extra years of life come in the second half of middle age. [21:03] For about the last hundred years, roughly every decade, life expectancy has increased by two or three years. That’s like adding six to eight hours to every day. With more time, we would structure our day differently. We have longer lives and we can structure them differently. The average age of first marriages has gone from 20 to 30. [22:14] The number of people working after age 70 has tripled in the United States over the last 20 years. A person in their 20s needs to think about working into their early 80s. There is time for experimentation and finding what you like and are good at. In your 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70s, you’re going to need to think more about investing. [24:07] Almost half of Marc’s online community is over 60; one-third are over 65. One of the common themes is they all want the freedom to keep on working, on their terms. Andrew notes that GenX and Millennials want flexible, meaningful, purposeful, autonomous work; so do workers over 60. We all want that. [25:09] At every age, preparing for your future self is important. That’s the key mindset perspective. “How do I make sure that I’m fit, healthy, engaged, and have my community and sense of purpose?” In a longer life, you need to be more forward-looking. [25:58] At 78, you have 13 more years of life than at 65, with the health that a 65-year-old of 40 years ago had. You are younger than your age. There are new options and new possibilities at every age. We work it out as we go along. [27:20] Marc recalls discussing with Ashton Applewhite, author of This Chair Rocks: A Manifesto Against Ageism, that the older we get, the younger we feel, and the longer we want to live. Our view of old age keeps on moving further and further out. [27:42] Andrew notes the paradox of aging: younger people see the challenges of aging and think it sounds terrible but happiness often increases as people grow older. Andrew shares his explanation. [28:52] As people get very old and sense that they may be approaching their final decade, they do want to focus on the things that matter the most to them. For most, that will be in their 80s and 90s. [29:33] Marc contrasts the treatment of ages in the U.S. and in Mexico. There are so many multi-generational homes in Mexico, and it is very healthy. Inter-generational mixing is good. Our U.S. obsession with age led to labeling the generations, separating them further from each other. The generations don’t mix. [31:43] People are people. Labeling comes about due to a lack of inter-generational mixing. Inter-generational mixing will become more crucial as we all live longer. It is a great way of spreading knowledge and insight. It will help the young be more forward-looking and the old to be more youthful and innovative. [33:02] Marc recalls his presentation in March on the five generations in the workplace. Many of the audience had never networked with Millennials. One had volunteered in the Beto O’Rourke Senate campaign, where he learned a lot. [33:43] Andrew has a website, 100yearlife.com, that includes a free diagnostic to look at your finances, skills, knowledge, physical and mental health, and your relationships, as well as your ability to undergo change. A three-stage life did not encourage many transitions. The transitions were: college to work and work to retirement. [34:20] More than 20K people have taken the diagnostic. There was no real pattern by age. People are the same, whatever age they are. Only one pattern emerged. Men in their 50s had quite narrow (similar) social circles. To transition well, open yourself up to new people and new ideas and find new circumstances. [36:03] Put yourself into challenging and different situations where you are not as well-known. That’s how you grow, learn, and transition. [36:20] Contact Andrew and buy his book through 100yearlife.com or see his ongoing work on his personal website, AndrewScott.global.

That is triple the number of downloads from April 2018. Thank you! [2:54] Next week, Marc will interview Andrew Scott, co-author of The 100-Year Life: Living and Working in an Age of Longevity. What will you do with all that extra time? [3:08] This week, Marc is speaking with Kathy Lansford, the founder of Launch Pad Job Club, the first and one of the largest job clubs in Texas, founded in 2001. They are discussing current and future job prospects for 50+ workers. [3:27] Marc shares Kathy’s bio and welcomes her to Repurpose Your Career. [4:32] Kathy was a job search skills trainer for many years at the Workforce Solutions office. After a break, she went to Austin Community College at the tail end of an AARP grant to help people over 50 find jobs. After the grant ended, ACC took over the project, expanding the services to the general ACC population, as well. [5:29] Marc met Kathy in 2006 after leaving his teaching job, when he got involved in Launch Pad Job Club. Later that year, Marc joined the board. Kathy is an expert on job search for people over 50. Marc introduces the topic of today’s episode: “Got Hope? Current and Future Job Prospects for 50+ Workers.” [6:17] Kathy describes negative job trends for those over 50. Ageism is rampant, especially in a youth-oriented city like Austin, where Kathy lives. The skill sets of older workers are not wanted. Age discrimination is illegal but age questions are often asked. [9:03] Kathy attends a group where people share their frustration at having their age used against them in the job search process before they can present their skills. [9:37] Ten years ago, the Supreme Court made a decision that makes it harder to prove age discrimination than for other forms of discrimination. [10:15] In the dotcom crash in 2001, in Austin, the first big layoff was at Dell. The laid-off workers had to sign waivers they would not sue for being laid off to get a severance package. [13:27] If a company lays off evenly across all age groups, and then hires back only younger workers, that is the basis of a lawsuit. [13:40] Recently a discrimination suit was settled against Facebook for only showing job postings to young people. Facebook ads allow a variety of targeting. Sellers can provide an email list and ask Facebook to find people who “look like these people.” [15:29] A Bloomberg podcast recently stated that for some platforms, like Facebook, a $3 billion fine is inconsequential. They will keep doing what they do. [15:59] Application tracking systems can screen for years of experience to target age ranges. The older job seeker never knows that their resume is never seen. [16:54] “Conversant in digital speak” and “digital native” are codes for “young.” [17:41] Kathy points out areas of hope. Lots of big companies are finding that they have gone too far to the young end of the spectrum. Kathy heard from her son in the semiconductor industry that young people don’t want to spend the time to be trained in processes. They quit after 12 to 18 months and move on to the next gig. [20:31] AARP is an advocate for older workers. Kathy talks about their five-year grant, open to anyone over 50 and their one-year WESI grant open to women over 50. Women over 50 make up the largest-growing poverty group in the country. The AARP Austin five-year grant was successful in getting a lot of people to work. [22:49] People over 50 stay unemployed longer. Kathy cites a statistic that job seekers 55 to 64 are out of work 34 weeks, on average. Job hunters 20 to 24 are out of work 15 weeks, on average. [23:46] Marc had Carol Fishman Cohen on the podcast from iRelaunch some months ago. Kathy talks about the iRelaunch program, aimed largely at caregivers re-joining the technological workforce. GM has had several of these initiatives in conjunction with the American Society of Women Engineers and they hired many of the participants. [25:32] Because the economy is so strong, with such low unemployment, companies are looking for talent anywhere; they are even willing to look in the “gray-haired world.” [25:57] Kathy remembers a program from years ago with Eli Lilly and another pharmaceutical firm who created a pool of their retirees to call in for specific big projects at a good salary on a temporary basis. [27:05] Companies with a strong diversity program are adding older workers to their diversity list. [27:55] Marc will have Tami Forman of Path Forward on the Repurpose Your Career podcast in about a month to talk about helping companies create re-entry programs for professionals. [28:29] Kathy mentions the Candice Bergen of the Murphy Brown show coming back as a relaunched career. Isabella Rosellini was long the face of Lancôme until they no longer needed her services due to age. In her 60s, they hired her again to represent older women who want to be beautiful. [29:40] One of Kathy’s clients’ ex-husband has a Ph.D. in optical engineering. After working in startups for years, he taught high school math and physics for 15 years. At age 66, he has just started up with defense contractor BAE Systems who appreciates his expertise and experience. [30:47] People have to be tenacious to get a good job in tech. One of Kathy’s clients with a Masters’ degree used Jobscan for LinkedIn. Jobscan scores your resume by the keywords in a job posting. They suggest having a keyword score of at least 80% before submitting a resume. The premium version of Jobscan also scans your LinkedIn profile. [33:17] Kathy’s client made the changes to his LinkedIn profile suggested by Jobscan. He had the premium version of LinkedIn so he could track traffic. Very quickly, the traffic to his profile increased by 300%. A recruiter who visited his profile helped him get a senior-level position with the city of Austin. He is close to 60 and in a wheelchair. [34:21] Public sector jobs tend not to discriminate by age. They look at your skills, background, and what you have to offer. [34:49] Kathy shares a case study of a woman unemployed for a year. Kathy helped her with the state application and mock interview through the Back to Work 50+ program. [35:47] Kathy’s client was turned down for different state positions until she networked with two friends who were at NXP (formerly Freescale and Motorola). Her friends got her connected there. She ended up with a $63K career job at NXP. [37:23] Tenacity is incredibly important. Older people tend to be tenacious. Pro Publica had an article that half of us over 50 will be forced into retirement, not by choice. [38:49] Austin now has some of the lowest mobility rates in the last 50 years. People don’t want to move. People are willing to work for less to stay. Some people are tethered by conditions; where they want to live, base salary, or base position wanted. [40:48] Consider taking a step down the career ladder, or changing industries. Could you get a job if you loosened your requirements? Kathy shares case studies of people who expanded the scope of their search. Be open-minded and flexible. [43:53] Marc gives a case study of a woman who drove for Lyft and got multiple contract gigs from passengers. Getting out and meeting people got her out of her funk. [44:55] Volunteering is another way to feel fulfilled by sharing skills you have that others need and value. Sometimes a non-profit will hire people from among their volunteers who are mission-driven. [46:07] Marc tells of his image consultant, Jean, who has launched a Fulfillment by Amazon business for a pierced earring back for women with sagging earlobes. She sources them in China and sells them on Amazon. [47:04] There are all types of things you can do to make money these days. [47:15] Kathy’s closing thoughts: everybody who wants to go to work, goes to work, whether at a job with benefits or a gig. The only people who don’t get a job are people who quit looking and quit believing in themselves. Reach out. Surround yourself with people who are energetic, positive, supportive, and excited. Help each other succeed! [48:23] Marc thanks Kathy and hopes you enjoyed this episode. Marc has known Kathy for over a decade. Her dedication to helping older workers find jobs is remarkable. Marc wants you to remember the word ‘tenacity.’ [48:47] The Career Pivot Community website has become a valuable resource for more than 50 members who are participating in the Beta phase of this project.

Career Pivot brings you this podcast. CareerPivot.com is one of the very few websites dedicated to those of us in the second half of life and our careers.

[3:23] Let Marc know what you think about how they are organized. Feel free to email Marc at Podcast@CareerPivot.com [3:38] Next week, Marc will interview Paul Tasner. Marc found Paul through his TED Talk where he told his story of being laid off at the age of 64 and becoming an entrepreneur and formed Pulpworks. [4:01] This week, Marc interviews Patti Temple Rocks, the author of a great book on Ageism. [5:46] Marc welcomes Patti to the Repurpose Your Career podcast. Patti reveals some of her personal passions: traveling and experiencing local cultures. [6:28] Patti explains the inspiration to write her book. Her boss and mentor, the first women to reach the C-suite at this large corporation, was pushed to the sideline. Patti asked the CEO why, and he said she was “just tired.” Patti knew that wasn’t true, and she started noticing age discrimination from that point on. [8:45] Patti’s wanted to make sure that didn’t happen to her, and to prepare for the day when the workplace decided it was time for her to go do something else. [9:10] Patti found a lot of writings about creating a second career when you are not perceived as valuable in your first career. Patti wasn’t ready to go do something else. She still had a lot to offer and give. Patti realized there were others who felt the same. [9:55] Patti’s book focuses on a message for businesses: You’ve got to change because there is this huge population of us who are reaching the stereotypical retirement age and we’re not going to want to go. [10:37] Marc has noticed code words for ageism. One term used in his workplace was he “doesn’t have the energy.” Patti says “digital native” can exclude Boomers. [11:07] Chris Farrell in Unretirement: How Baby Boomers are Changing the Way We Think About Work, Community, and the Good Life, says that companies are going to need Boomers. Without companies changing their behaviors, there will still be ageism. [11:29] When Marc interviewed Ashton Applewhite she had said that Boomers need to change behaviors. Patti saw there was room for her book. [11:51] In Patti’s opinion, there were a lot of people willing to make assumptions without having conversations about what is in the best interest of the company and the employee. Talking about age is considered taboo. Talking about salary is forbidden. More transparency in business will uncover inequities. [13:16] People assume that when an employee reaches a certain age, they don’t want to travel or move, or they are not worth training. These untruths continue due to lack of conversation. [13:40] Ageism exists because we don’t talk about it. Patti remembers a time when there were no diversity and inclusion officers or strategies. Today, we are talking about racism and sexism in corporations and in society. Age does not have that protection. [15:31] We need to start noticing when workers in their 50s and 60s are being ushered out of organizations. Ask the question, “What’s going on in my organization?” We can make a change. Marc tells of a case of disguised ageism from his corporate history. [16:30] Patti gives an example of ageism from her own career. Our view of retirement changes as we approach the expected retirement age. [19:34] Marc will interview Andrew Scott in May. Andrew and his wife, Lynda Gratton, wrote The 100-Year Life: Living and Working in an Age of Longevity. Young adults are probably not going to retire until they’re 85. They just haven’t figured that out, yet. [20:29] Marc talks about Del Webb, who opened the first Sun City on January 1, 1960, with five model homes and a strip mall. 10,000 cars came through the first day. A lot of the people smoked. They were in their 60s and weren’t going to live for more than 10 years. Today a married couple of age 65 have a good chance that one will live to 100. [21:53] Patti talks about how Herman Miller has addressed ageism. They realized that if everybody who was eligible for retirement took it at the time of their eligibility, they would have serious labor shortage and knowledge-transfer problems. [22:47] Herman Miller also noticed that most people were retiring without giving much notice. Those people were also not really prepared for retirement. Herman Miller created a program of flex retirement that encouraged employees to work with their managers to plan for retirement in steps, as much as five years ahead of time. [24:13] There almost always was a solution that was in the best interests both of the company and the employee. A major benefit for Herman Miller was in being able to plan for orderly successions with the person whose job is being filled making some contributions to the discussions. This program was a win-win. [25:08] Companies need to realize that it’s in their best interests, from a labor standpoint, to keep their employees around longer. If we Boomers can get people talking about ageism, and treating it as a taboo subject, solutions will arise from that conversation. [26:13] Patti interviewed many people who had experienced ageism. One obvious conclusion is that older workers are not around because of their higher salaries. It’s up to all of us to continue to prove our value, no matter what our age, so that we earn our salary. In cost-cutting times, that may mean reduced hours or a lower-paying job. [27:51] 100% of the people Patti interviewed said that if their boss had offered the option to change roles and reduce compensation, they would surely have considered it and more than likely would have taken it. Most people aren’t in a position to completely retire in their 50s or early 60s, if for no other reason than the high cost of health insurance. [28:30] Nobody should take a pay cut for doing the exact same job but companies can find a way to reorganize someone’s job to use their strengths at a lower salary. [28:51] Marc is living in Mexico because of the high cost of health insurance in the U.S. Marc also notes that he never was offered at any job the option to do something different for less money. [29:20] One of the common themes in Marc’s online community is that everybody wants the freedom of when they want to work, what they want to work on, and how hard they want to work. It’s not as much about the pay. [29:43] Patti has seen through her career that everybody wants flexibility and freedom. It is especially important toward the end of a career. CVS offered a package to pharmacists and store managers to spend winters in Florida. This solved a training and staffing problem and worked out well for older workers. Flexibility is huge. [32:11] Patti’s hope is that, as a result of this conversation in society, we will all have more choices about our own end of careers. [33:46] Patti has the idea that the vast majority of people who don’t get employee reviews when they’re supposed to are over 40. It’s sort of decided for us at that age that we care less about career development. Patti says, let’s take control of the end of our careers, not just the beginning of our careers. [34:28] Marc doesn’t ever want to retire. He wants to work less at something he loves, on his terms. [34:46] Patti’s book, I’m Not Done: It’s Time to Talk About Ageism in the Workplace, is available on Amazon. Patti’s website is Imnotdone.rocks and you can reach out to her there. Patti’s focus in her writings is to continue to raise awareness for this topic. People always thank her for bringing this up. Patti is not done talking about it! [35:41] Marc thanks Patti and hopes you enjoyed this episode. Ageism is not going away anytime soon. Marc recommends Patti’s book. Let him know what you think of it.

Carol Fishman Cohen presents her view of bringing people (especially women) back into the workplace after a career break and what the importance is of experience in leadership.   Key Takeaways: [:55] Marc welcomes you to Episode 80 of the Repurpose Your Career podcast and invites you to share this podcast with like-minded souls. Please subscribe, share it on social media, write an honest iTunes review, or tell your neighbors and colleagues. [1:19] Next week’s show is the Q&A episode, with Mark Anthony Dyson of the Voice of Jobseekers podcast. Together, Marc and Mark will answer listener questions. [1:29] In this week’s episode, Marc interviews Carol Fishman Cohen, CEO and Co-Founder of IRelaunch. IRelaunch is the leader in career re-entry programming. IRelaunch works directly with nearly 40 Blue Chip companies to develop, pilot, source for, present in, and publicize re-entry internship programs and hiring. [2:14] Marc welcomes Carol. Carol is the host of 3, 2, 1, Relaunch podcast. Marc feels their audiences intersect, so he invited Carol on the show. Carol reviews how she started iReLaunch, after a career break of 11 years while she raised her family. [4:08] iReLaunch is the pioneering company ‘in this space’ and Carol feels like the grandmother. [4:46] iReLaunch provides tools and resources for individuals in all stages of relaunching their career, at companies from over 50 people to over 1,000 people. Companies engage with this pool through mid-career paid internships and direct open hiring, even without a career re-entry program. [5:33] iReLaunch does this with return-to-work programs, internships, workshopped based or companies that want to hire people who are returning after a career break. They do conferences and events, working with companies individually or in groups, and products like the iReLaunch Road Map, an online product. [6:08] iReLaunch engages with ReLaunchers directly through iReLaunch Return to Work Conferences, held 22 times at Stanford and Columbia since 2008 with over 6,400 people attending so far. The conferences are promoted through alumni associations. 70% of attendees have graduate degrees. 100% of attendees have bachelor’s degrees. [7:37] 93% of attendees at these conferences historically have been female, but the most recent conference may have had up to 12% male. As more men take career breaks for family leave, Carol expects to see more men attend. [8:37] 70% of the people who attend these conferences have had 10 years of work experience before their career breaks. 70% of attendees are interested in returning to full-time jobs. 30% are looking for either an entrepreneurial venture or a reduced hours arrangement. [9:04] 84% of Millennials are expecting a career break of four weeks or longer at some point, according to Manpower research. Carol gives some detail. [11:10] People are retiring later, and those in retirement are interested in unretiring. [11:43] Originally iReLaunch was focusing solely on women. Now they are focusing on all ReLaunchers. Paid internships are a good way to try out a worker. [13:15] Carol takes a look at the history of the Relaunch movement and paid internships. Once the program was up and running, companies could see how beneficial it was and how experienced and engaged the new interns are. [14:50] There has to be a sense of urgency about women in mid-to-senior leadership positions. [15:37] With the success of company internships for ReLaunchers, Carol looked toward the Technical field for growth. Carol had a STEM Reentry Task Force in mind. The Society of Women Engineers partnered with iReLaunch to support it. The initiative now includes 20 global companies piloting a formal return to work for technical people. [17:27] One of the missions of iReLaunch is to spotlight success stories, so companies can shape their expectations based on good experiences. [18:01] People returning to technology after a break of some years have to be willing to throw themselves into continuing education to keep up. This pathway back with some formal updating is a total, viable pathway with as lot of success. [19:33] The typical age range of people who are reentering with iReLaunch is between 50 and 60. They need to become subject matter experts all over again, reading all the latest thinking in the field and following the top experts. See Episode 72 with Alexander Buschek. Write a whitepaper! Be bold! [24:45] The vision for iReLaunch: At a future point in time recruiters and employers don’t attach risk to hiring people who are returning from a career break. [28:01] Wall Street is now seeking programs to get STEM workers back. [29:35] The caliber of the people who are in these programs is high. Between 50-100% of them are being hired when the program is complete.

First up, we examine a question that most kids ask at some point: “Where do babies come from?” Science writer Edward Dolnick walks us through how humanity discovered the answer to that question. And the story involves Leonardo Da Vinci, sea urchins, and staring at sperm under a primitive microscope. After that: What can scientists learn from the natural world? We visit the lab of Jeff Karp, a biomedical engineer who seeks inspiration from porcupines and geckos. Take a listen to find out how investigating sea slug slime led to the development of a glue that can adhere to almost any tissue in the human body. (The glue actually just received market approval in Europe.) Finally, humans are living longer and longer. What does that mean for our society? Andrew Scott, co-author of The 100-Year Life: Living and Working in an Age of Longevity, believes that we’re going to have to create entirely new stages* *of life.

Hopefully, you’re going to die a very long time from now, surrounded by friends and family, having lived a meaningful life. But exactly how far away is death going to be? When you look at the broad sweep of human history, life expectancy has pushed upwards (albeit not always in a straight line), almost doubling over the last century. And, it may well keep rising. Andrew Scott, co-author of The 100-Year Life: Living and Working in an Age of Longevity, believes that longer lifespans are about to alter society in some fundamental ways.

Are you prepared to live to 100? Research shows that it is becoming the norm, but that few of us are planning for it. Many are surprised to learn that it not only requires rethinking saving and retirement, but also education, jobs, and relationships. To guide us, London Business School Professor and future of work expert, Lynda Gratton, has written The 100-Year Life: Living and Working in an Age of Longevity. In addition to her many books, Lynda writes for Harvard Business Review, The New York Times, and Forbes. She points out the possibilities, as well as the challenges, associated with living longer lives. Lynda also encourages us to plan for what lies ahead, so that we can take full advantage of this opportunity. In this interview, we talk about: What learning will look like as we continue working into our 70s and 80s Why working well with robots will decrease our odds of obsolescence How generational markers, such as millennials, limit how we think about work and life Why we will become age agnostic as people of all ages learn and work together Are you building, maintaining, or depleting current skills? The secret to increasing our adaptability and willingness to change Three new life stages that are upending how we think about life and work Are you spending your free time in recreation or re-creation, and why it matters? The important role experimentation will play in our lives as we live longer How marriage and friendships will change as we live longer lives Why juvenescence holds the key to navigating a longer life Why we should be worried about wealth disparity Why living longer will push organizations to rethink work policies and expectations Why individuals and families - not most organizations - will guide us in innovating Selected Links to Topics Mentioned @lyndagratton www.100yearlife.com 100 Year Life Diagnostic London Business School World Economic Forum Andrew Scott Future of Work Consortium The Shift: The Future of Work is Already Here by Lynda Gratton Stretch by Karie Willyerd and Barbara Mistick If you enjoy the podcast, please rate and review it on iTunes.

What are three financial moves that you can make now to ensure that you will have a comfortable retirement? Consider basing your financial moves on chess strategies. You can adapt chess maneuvers to put your finances in order and prepare for retirement. Download this financial podcast to learn a how to apply chess moves to your finances. Longer lifespans mean longer retirements. Therefore, in order not to run out of money, it’s critical to prepare properly. For more about preparing for retirement in the “age of longevity,” listen to my interview with Professor Andrew Scott, author of The 100-Year Life: Living and Working in an Age of Longevity.

We are living in “the age of longevity” where 20-year-olds can expect to live to 100! Does this mean the current retirement system will soon be obsolete? Professor Andrew Scott, an economics professor at the London Business School and author of The 100-Year Life: Living and Working in an Age of Longevity, discusses how retirement planning needs to change to face the challenges of an extended lifespan. Listen what transformations need to take place both in the current attitude and infrastructure of retirement planning. Are governments adequately addressing the inevitable strain longer lives will place on their future economies? How can individuals and their retirement planners make informed choices to cope with a longer retirement? Professor Scott insists that the most important aspect of retirement planning may not be financial. Tune into the financial podcast to learn which specific aspect of retirement planning should be your focus. There is no such thing as a “no risk” investment Risk is an inherent part of investing. There are three main methods to reduce risk in your portfolio: asset allocation, diversification, and money management. But what exactly is a money manager? Doug explains how a professional money manager may help lower risk in your portfolio.

In this episode, Marc interviews Taylor Pearson, entrepreneur, and author of The End of Jobs: Money, Meaning and Freedom Without the 9-to-5. Inc. Magazine just rated The End of Jobs as one of the Top Three ‘Start Your Own Business’ books of 2015, and a ‘Top 25 Business Book’ of 2015. It has sold tens of thousands of copies, and it has been translated into Chinese (simple and complex), Japanese, Korean, and Thai. A Wall Street Journal bestselling author and entrepreneur James Altucher, said of it, “Entrepreneurship is not a choice you can make at your leisure. You have to jump on the train, or lose your chance. Now is the time, and Taylor’s book describes exactly how to do it.” His work has been featured in media outlets, including Business Insider, Inc., and Entrepreneur. A former Brazilian Super Bowl Champion (It’s not what you think!), Taylor has lived in Tennessee, Alabama, Argentina, Brazil, Viet Nam, Thailand, San Diego, Texas, and currently, in New York. Marc and Taylor discuss how Taylor wrote an important book on online entrepreneurism, what he means by the end of jobs, and how your job will change. They discuss the vital importance of learning new skills — not by paying for them, but by earning them through experience. New skills bring new earning opportunities, and new markets to grow for your future.   Key Takeaways: [2:40] Taylor is from Memphis, Tenn. He attended a small college in Birmingham Ala., studying History and Spanish. He worked as a medical interpreter, and taught English in Brazil. He started listening to podcasts on entrepreneurship, and online businesses. He returned to Memphis, and started working at an online marketing agency. [4:00] At the agency, he did SEO and project management, managing fulfillment and clients. He moved to manage an e-commerce organization in San Diego, working with a web marketing team based in Southeast Asia. He moved there, to run the team. The owner also ran a community for online entrepreneurs. This was a new exposure for him. [5:40] Taylor published The End of Jobs about the new life script the Internet enabled. He borrowed the title from, "The End of History?" a 1989 essay by Francis Fukuyama, who proposed there were no remaining viable competitors to liberal democracy. Taylor proposes the institution of traditional jobs will end, much as communism will end. [7:48] Taylor had attended a conference of the community of entrepreneurs, held in Bangkok, Thailand. At a breakfast, the discussion was how to explain the new career path of online international entrepreneurism. Taylor moved the conversation into a book intended for Millennials. He is pleased to learn that Baby Boomers take to it as well. [9:34] Marc is working with a client now, looking for a problem for him to solve. The goal is to start a business. Some Boomers are, of necessity, entrepreneurs, with too little saved to retire, and no job offers. Two thirds of all small businesses are owned by Baby Boomers, and they’re ready to sell but not to retire. So, they start a new business. [11:16] Taylor’s book cites three reasons he believes we are at peak jobs: communications technology, the rise of machines, and the abundance of credentialization. As an example of tech, this podcast is held over free Skype, recorded inexpensively, and will be uploaded for anyone in the world to hear. Compare to radio. [12:34] There have been huge decreases in cost to talking with people around the world, creating global access to the labor market. Companies no longer need to hire locally. All that’s required is an Internet connection. Vietnamese programmers fluent in English are excited to work for $1K a month. Their grandparents worked in rice paddies. [15:11] We underestimate how quickly jobs are being outsourced or automated. Not only manufacturing jobs, but now knowledge work is being performed by AI. An AT&T study in the early 80’s proposed 100 thousand cell phone users in 2000, not the 100 million that really used cell phones in 2000. [17:58] We’ve stopped thinking of higher education as an investment, and started thinking of it as a must-have. But, for two decades, the salary value of the degree has been going down across every industry, while the cost of it has been going up. The lines have crossed for a lot of professions, such as JDs and MBAs. [20:33] Taylor discusses the concepts of Mediocristan, and Extremistan. Most people heightwise, financially, etc., live in Mediocristan. Outliers — the very short, the very tall, the very poor, the very wealthy — live in Extremistan. Most people work in Mediocristan, they don’t improve skills, don’t work on side projects, and get laid off — and it’s too late. [24:43] Costs and risks to entrepreneurism are much, much lower than they were five years ago. Playing it safe is the new risky. Taylor talks about stair-stepping to entrepreneurship. Chinese companies will take purchase orders for $5K, if you want to sell physical products. Start to experiment, and learn inexpensively. [27:13] Taylor talks about Rob Walling, who was in a C-level position at a construction company, and started side projects, like an ebook with plans for a duck boat. That taught him about SEO, Wordpress, and managing customer support. The more he learned, the bigger his ideas, and using cash flow, he bought a software firm and more.   Mentioned in This Episode: Careerpivot.com Contact Marc, and ask questions at: Careerpivot.com/contact-me Email: Taylor@TaylorPearson.me Website: TaylorPearson.me Twitter: @TaylorPearsonMe The End of Jobs: Money, Meaning and Freedom Without the 9-to-5, by Taylor Pearson The 100-Year Life: Living and Working in an Age of Longevity, by Lynda Gratton and Andrew Scott Will It Fly?

Hit the Bullseye:  Four generations work side by side—The Silent Generation, Boomers, Gen X, Millennials—and make assumptions about each other.  Some of the more common ones are: Young employees are more excited about work, learning new skills and staying fit, and older people work at a slower pace, are more exhausted and less likely to explore. Professors Lynda Gratton and Andrew Scott of the London Business School would tell you those assumptions are wrong. Gratton and Scott interviewed 10,000 people and based their book The 100 Year Life: Living and Working in an Age of Longevity on the following 6 key takeaways: 1. It's not just the young who invest in new skills. The study showed there is no difference between those in their 30s, 40s or even 60s – The majority of people keep maintaining skills and this does not significantly decline with age. Read more...Guest: Don Haddad, Senior Vice President of Citizen's Bank, has more than 25 years of senior leadership experience in the banking industry. Don was the past president of both the Pittsburgh chapters of the Association for Corporate Growth and also the Commercial Finance Association. Big Idea: Don mentions the importance of value adding solutions.

The nature of financial planning advice will change dramatically as it becomes common for people to live to 100. The idea of a three-stage life where we go to school for 20 years, work for 40, then retire for 20 and die will go away. It will be replaced by a non-linear, multi-stage life where people will cycle in and out of education, work, leisure, re-creation, sabbatical, gig economy, and encore careers. How we define what an "asset" is will change and the ability to enhance your "intangible" assets will become critical to a happy life. The advice we give on saving for retirement and working in retirement will change as we need to make our money last as we live to 100 or beyond. Life planning will emerge as the dominant construct for financial advisors as our life pattern becomes more complicated and investment management becomes more automated. In today’s show, my guest is Professor Andrew Scott of London Business School. Professor Scott is the co-author of an important new book titled, The 100-Year Life: Living and Working in an Age of Longevity.
