And prior to that period, people basically worked until they died, because life expectancy was only 62. As the 20th century moved along and life expectancy grew, we had this whole sort of retirement industrial complex created by government, business, and developers, who all tapped into this idea of living out your post-work years having fun playing golf, being in the sun. But life expectancy has grown so much that it has turned the whole retirement concept on its head.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg yf-18d6y07\"><strong>What is the new longevity movement?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg yf-18d6y07\">It&#8217;s this idea that if you&#8217;re 60 and healthy, you will live potentially another 30 or 40 years, which creates an entirely new life cycle that previous generations never knew. At 60, you can start a new career for 10 or 20 years if you choose to. You can become an entrepreneur. You can go back to school. You can start a creative life and become a painter, writer, whatever. It&#8217;s this enormous gift of additional time. Someone might have two or three different careers. We&#8217;re on the cusp of an entirely new era.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg yf-18d6y07\"><strong>Let&#8217;s talk about the 60-year career. How do you see that playing out?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg yf-18d6y07\">The millennials will have a bit of that, but Gen Z and those who follow will really manifest this six-decade career. Many studies have predicted that today&#8217;s five-year-old has a 50% chance of living to be a hundred. People won&#8217;t have one linear career like previous generations did. That is dissolving right in front of us. They will end up having multiple careers, which may mean lateral moves. It may mean moving into new disciplines. It may mean a two- or three-year pause, and then going back to the workforce. Companies and organizations are going to have to restructure around this changing approach to careers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg yf-18d6y07\"><strong>What needs to happen at the workplace level?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"read-more-wrapper\" data-testid=\"read-more\">\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg yf-18d6y07\">Most companies are way behind this. But it&#8217;s simple demographics. There won&#8217;t be as many young workers coming along to replace those who are growing older and want to keep working to finance those extra years of living.

If they work in a traditional company, they kind of hear the drums beating. Am I not going to get promoted? Am I not going to get further training? Is my company forcing me into a glide path of &#8220;traditional retirement&#8221;?<\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg yf-18d6y07\">What&#8217;s happening is that a lot of people are saying, &#8220;Gee, you know, I have the knowledge. I have contacts. I have the access to resources, or my own resources. I&#8217;m going to step out and become an entrepreneur and launch my own thing&#8221; \u2014 usually a microbusiness.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg yf-18d6y07\">It might be tied into a passion, a hobby, or it might be tied into a newfound thing that you learned along the way. Doing your own thing is liberating. It&#8217;s exciting. It&#8217;s a new start. And the data shows that older entrepreneurs tend to have higher success rates and longer run rates on their business than start-ups from younger generations because of all of their experience and knowledge.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg yf-18d6y07\"><strong>Long-term learning will be critical for all workers, correct?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg yf-18d6y07\">Universities are going to have to rethink their model. They&#8217;re already on the enrollment cliff with fewer young people entering their doors. The great universities are starting to pivot their curriculum. They are targeting the midlife person with not just degree programs, but certificate programs and other avenues to help people either reposition in a new career and\/or run parallel to something they might want to do. They&#8217;re creating learning centers to help people regroup and reimagine for the second half. You will see more of those in the next several years at affordable prices.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"yf-750ceo\" data-testid=\"article-figure-image\">\n<div class=\"image-container yf-lglytj\">\n<div class=\"image-wrapper yf-lglytj\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/s.yimg.com\/lo\/mysterio\/api\/2F2DB27CA5A2650C9BB0E9400442D9B623F46CB06EC0A8762582E2EFB047AF5E\/subgraphmysterio\/resizefit_w960%3Bquality_80%3Bformat_webp\/https%3A%2F%2Fd29szjachogqwa.cloudfront.net%2Fimages%2Fuser-uploaded%2Fimg-7350_9501.jpeg?ssl=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-rapid_p=\"190\" data-y-link-id=\"07037i01vsjwo10ejtp1\" data-v9y=\"1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"yf-lglytj loaded\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/s.yimg.com\/lo\/mysterio\/api\/2F2DB27CA5A2650C9BB0E9400442D9B623F46CB06EC0A8762582E2EFB047AF5E\/subgraphmysterio\/resizefit_w960%3Bquality_80%3Bformat_webp\/https%3A%2F%2Fd29szjachogqwa.cloudfront.net%2Fimages%2Fuser-uploaded%2Fimg-7350_9501.jpeg?resize=640%2C640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Author Michael Clinton (l) outlines the scope of the longevity movement on society shifts in decades to come.\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"yf-750ceo\">Author Michael Clinton (left) outlines the scope of the longevity movement on society shifts in decades to come.\u00a0<span class=\"caption-separator yf-750ceo\">\u00b7<\/span>\u00a0(Photo courtesy of Michael Clinton)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg yf-18d6y07\"><strong>What role does creativity play in longer lifespans?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg yf-18d6y07\">When we participate in the arts, it is great for our brain health because it makes us think in more complex ways.

We are at the dawn of the major AI era, and that is going to play a very significant role in the longevity discussion. It&#8217;s going to be the convergence of medicine, technology, and AI. The AI applications toward longevity will be a big go-go growth area.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg yf-18d6y07\">There will be the continuation of the emergence of precision medicine and new classes of drugs for better, longer lives.
