Growing Bolder’s Launchpad to What’s Next: The art of the comeback.

Thanks to advancements in medicine, health care, technology, genetic research, and improved personal lifestyle choices, there now exists a new and unprecedented life stage -- two, three, and even four decades beyond what has been considered normal retirement age. This presents an opportunity to reinvent ourselves, pursue our passions, go back to school, start a new business, repair old relationships, build new relationships, give back to our community, and much more. This fact both excites and concerns men and women of all ages. We all wonder, “What’s next and how do I create it?” Launchpad to What’s Next answers the most important questions, addresses the biggest fears, and inspires the kind of lifestyle change that empowers healthy and active aging.

The Explosion in Masters Sports: What we can from the world’s most active seniors.

All of those studies that say we must lose strength, muscle mass, bone density, flexibility and speed as we age were done with groups of sedentary adults – couch potatoes. The worldwide explosion in masters sports has provided an entirely new group of test subjects and what we’re learning is mind blowing. Physical decline isn’t a given. In fact, in many cases we can actually get faster, stronger, and more flexible as we age. We can delay our decline and compress our morbidity. We can reduce our healthcare cost and improve the quality of our lives in every way.

Growing Bolder: Defy the cult of youth. Live with passion and purpose

We’ve been deceived by our culture, misled by our media, and lied to by Madison Avenue, Hollywood, our friends, our family and even ourselves. Age is not a disease. It’s an opportunity. An internal ageist self image is sabotaging our future potential, stealing years from our lives and quality of life from our years. In an entertaining and provocative presentation, Marc reveals how we are aged less by our years and more by our belief systems and how we must disconnect from the 24/7 ageist propaganda machine to seize the opportunities of age.
