How to SuperAge: Sleep, Nutrition, Exercise and Stress Reduction For a Long, Healthy Life
In the SuperAge system, we show how the intersection of food, movement, sleep, and stress reduction direct 95% of one’s health outcomes. Genetics is only a small factor, as we have agency over our wellness through sensible behavior. There is no reason to accept aging as a “grim reality.” By staying healthy, we avail ourselves to some amazing new health technologies which may very well lead to living longer and healthier than we ever expected.
The Longevity Revolution: How It Affects Everything
Informed predictions from leading health and science experts show that we could be living healthier considerably longer than anticipated. This could be the biggest change in human behavior since the invention of fire. What happens when 90-year-olds are starting businesses and remaining consumers? How will employers manage a 5 generational workforce? How will everything from the housing market to corporate promotions to the current youth-oriented focus of our economy change? Will there be new developmental stages, or will the current ones elongate?
Branding and Communication: Connecting with the Financially-Empowered 50+ Consumer
The majority of marketing to this most powerful of all consumer cohorts at best fail, and at worst alienates. I will demonstrate how looking at attitudinal groups–not ages–works, and the importance of knowing your lane.
Moreover, I will show how using the same intentions as more youth-oriented marketing–aspiration and inspiration–functions just as well for this group, and when done in the AGEIST way, works up and down the age column. 40% of AGEIST readers are under 50 yet we never write about anyone that young. Why? Because cool is ageless. Your target consumers think more like younger people than you may assume.
Encore Careers: Working Beyond Your Primary Career
For reasons of financial need, personal gratification, and social recognition, many seek to continue work after initial retirement. Some may know exactly what they want to do. For others, the options can be overwhelming. A key here is discerning purpose from passion, and understanding how income, time, and energy are part of the decision-making process. After all, our greatest limitation is our imagination. One in seven Americans right now are over 70, making this the fastest-growing labor demographic, with a whopping 96% increase this decade. I will be presenting on a personal, company, and societal level what can be a tremendously fulfilling life phase for the individual, a valuable resource for businesses, and a huge social positive.
