Key Takeaways


Don't target by age, it's a huge fail. Age is one of the criteria, but not the defining character criteria. What are people’s values and ambitions? How do they see themselves in the future?
The word “aging” is problematic because it is lumped together with disease.
Apple doesn't target age; they target people. The largest consumer segment for Apple products is men over 65.
Wellness is what we have control over, and a set of behaviors that have consequences. There is growing awareness that we have responsibility for our health outcomes; we have agency.
Become passionate about your purpose. Purpose orients your life around “How can I be most useful? How can I be most impactful in the world?”
