In this episode of Future Shop, Wendy Liebmann sits down with renaissance man and ROAR Forward founder Michael Clinton to discuss his latest book, Longevity Nation . As life expectancies climb and today’s children face a 50% chance of living to 100, the “second half of life” is being completely rewritten.

Highlights include: The 100-Year Life: Why a holistic approach to health, finance, and spirit is essential for modern longevity. The $15 Trillion Opportunity: How brands are missing out by ignoring the high-spending 50+ consumer. Global Innovation: Lessons from Asia on urban planning and public-private partnerships for an aging population.
