4-Quarter Lives The Fastest Growing Market in the World - The Old(er)
Focus on Stage (Not Age)
Susan Wilner Golden is the Founder and Director of the dciX initiative at the Stanford Distinguished Careers Institute, or DCI, a similar program to the one at Harvard (the Advanced Leadership Initiative). Her focus is on the intersection of longevity and innovation and the unique entrepreneurial opportunities that longer lives and the growing $22 trillion longevity economy present. She integrates multiple perspectives based on her professional experiences in public health, venture capital, and as an advisor and mentor to startup companies and teams. Her aim is to help entrepreneurs identify the unique features of starting companies focused on older adults and the many market opportunities for new products and services in the fastest growing sector.
Susan’s book STAGE (Not Age) was published in 2022 by Harvard Business Review Press. She shares fascinating insights into how companies are thinking and innovating around the massive longevity opportunity, which she also outlines in this podcast.
