Episode# 98: Marcus Riley & Stuart Kaplan on Why Aging Is the Advantage You're Not Using

Retirement was designed in 1935 for people who lived to sixty-three years old. So why are we still using that metric as life's finish line? In this episode, Dr. Cindy sits down with Marcus Riley and Stuart Kaplan—co-authors of Your Aging Advantage—to reframe aging as a series of self-determined stages, not a countdown. They explore The Flicker Phase, Aging on Pace, and why it's never too early—or too late—to plan.
