Retire With Purpose - The Retirement Podcast

Today, I'm talking to Bradley Schurman. Bradley is the founder and CEO of The Super Age, a global strategic advisory firm that helps people tap into the economic power of "super-agers"–the older populations that will soon outnumber younger people in economies worldwide. In his book The Super Age: Decoding Our Demographic Destiny, he explores how these changing demographics will affect government and business, touching all of our lives. He warns us that our failure to prepare for an aging world could lead to economic stagnation, more isolated populations, and accelerated decline. He also outlines how we can harness this generation's skills and talents to enrich everyone's lives for years to come. In our conversation, we discuss why he believes the Super Age presents an extraordinary challenge and opportunity for our world–and how this impacts our notion of "retirement." We discuss how the Super Age will change our world for at least the next 25 years, the links between aging and inflation, and the private-sector innovation and public-sector adjustments that will define this transition for so many of us in the years to come. In this podcast interview, you'll learn: How Super Age nations are guaranteed to create massive socioeconomic change all over the world. Why our definition of retirement is currently changing in real-time. What makes someone a Super Ager–and how these traits keep older people healthier, more active, and better-connected. How changes to our economy are creating communities that look more like the families of the early 20th century. What Bradley expects to see happen to Medicare and Social Security to address these demographic changes. The factors that define our longevity–and what people are looking for as they seek out stability in this highly disruptive period.
