Iām also approaching the best years of my life. No longer office bound, my time entirely flexible, living in France in the countryside with access to exceptional culture in the cities. Fabulous supportive husband. Adult daughters thriving in Melbourne in Australia in fantastic and meaningful jobs with whom Iām in contact weekly at a bare minimum. And a great new dog! Life has never been better and the future lies ahead! And we grow our own vegetables and have perfect blood tests!
Wow Bryan this stack is amazing! Iām 65, writing my head off on Substack and elsewhere and as far as Iām concerned my writing is more powerful, more refined and more intentional than ever before.
As always, so many great insights here. I'm not a Gen Xer (I'm part of the hidden generation between Boomers and X, which I've named Flower Children), but I really relate to their attitude toward aging as "more like a chance to express who you are than to hide who you were." I've really been feeling that so far in my sixties!
Amazing read šš½
More companies should be reading your advice about what they're missing out on by not marketing to Gen X. You make excellent points. Also, have you listened to Dr. Peter Attia's podcast? If not, start with this one. He's a Gen Xer who is redefining how to approach aging. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/longevity-101-a-foundational-guide-to-peters/id1400828889?i=1000733646543

Very good points here. But I'm not quite ready to stop dying my hair...
