    The Longevity Revolution: Rethinking Wealth and Health in Retirement with Ken Dychtwald

    Retirement is no longer viewed as a single event marking the end of one's career, but rather as a chapter with multiple phases and possibilities. This shift has led advisors to rethink their approach to retirement planning, with a focus on balancing financial strategies, healthcare needs, and lifestyle choices. In this episode, Jack Sharry talks with Ken Dychtwald, Founder and CEO of Age Wave. For 45+ years, Ken has been a leading visionary and original thinker regarding the lifestyle, marketing, health care, economic, and workforce implications of the age wave. Ken is a psychologist, gerontologist, and best-selling author of 19 books on aging-related issues. Jack and Ken discuss the changes brought about by increased longevity and the aging population in the financial services industry. From financial readiness to the evolving role of financial advisors, Ken explores what it means to live longer, healthier, and more purpose-driven lives. In this episode: [01:26] - Meet Ken Dychtwald [02:29] - Why people are rethinking their retirement plans [07:00] - How longevity has redefined retirement  [11:15] - The importance of mentors and mentorship [14:19] - The changing role of financial advisors  [19:04] - The need for advisors to be more holistic [21:56] - A shift from accumulation to decumulation strategies [25:29] - Ken's key takeaways [28;43] - Ken's interests outside of work Quotes [07:43] - "Aging isn't what it used to be. More and more people today are realizing that they don't want to live a longer life just to be old longer. They want a more cyclic life. People increasingly refer to this new chapter of their lives as a time of freedom, not a time to decline." ~ Ken Dychtwald [20:45] - "This age wave and this longevity revolution don't just mean that there'll be more older adults, but a new generation of older adults. These boomers are really demanding and want to be listened to and asked questions." ~ Ken Dychtwald [25:04] - "The entire population needs to be better oriented towards the financial considerations of 'How do I live long, how do I live well, and how do I make sure my wealth span matches my lifespan?’” ~ Ken Dychtwald  Links  Ken Dychtwald on LinkedIn Age Wave Chip Conley John Thiel Edward Jones The John A.
