In this episode of Future Shop, Wendy Liebmann sits down with renaissance man and ROAR Forward founder Michael Clinton to discuss his latest book, Longevity Nation. As life expectancies climb and today’s children face a 50% chance of living to 100, the “second half of life” is being completely rewritten. Michael shares how businesses, retailers, and individuals must adapt to a world where 74 is the new middle age and the 50+ cohort represents the most significant growth market in the global economy.
Highlights include:
- The 100-Year Life: Why a holistic approach to health, finance, and spirit is essential for modern longevity.
- The $15 Trillion Opportunity: How brands are missing out by ignoring the high-spending 50+ consumer.
- Global Innovation: Lessons from Asia on urban planning and public-private partnerships for an aging population.
- Future Tech: The role of AI and precision medicine in democratizing “cellular rejuvenation” and slowing the aging process.
