ROAR Forward is sponsoring a four-part series with the ICP on how creativity fuels healthy longevity. This week we had a master class from Timothy Greenfield-Sanders, who at 74 is thriving with new projects as a photographer and filmmaker.
What’s your creative gene?
By 2030, 150 million jobs worldwide will have shifted to workers over 55 (Bain & Company). As AI changes work, that experience is an asset. But as Kerry Hannon told me, “Raise your hand and ask for it.” My Longevity Lesson: don’t be passive. #LongevityNation
Every October, I lead a retreat at @ChipConley’s Modern Elder Academy on a 2,600-acre ranch outside Santa Fe. We spend three days on ROAR principles, arroyo hikes, horseback riding and stories around the fire, all to reimagine the second half of life. #ROARForward
I spent two days at @UChicago this week with the graduating fellows of the Leadership & Society Initiative, leaders reimagining their next chapter. I’m proud to serve on its advisory board. Ready to create your favorite future? leadforsociety.uchicago.edu
At 53, Sheila Partrat learned her blood sugar was out of balance. Her fix became Protelicious, and her essay from our September newsletter makes the case that health and pleasure were never enemies.

Five months in and Longevity Nation is still having the time of its life: a WSJ review, a TIME excerpt, a Next Big Idea Club pick, and a 13-city tour. Thank you for coming along for the ride. Haven't read it yet? Start here: amzn.to/4dozoUY

Dan Buettner, who popularized Blue Zones, wrote about Okinawa's moai: friends who stay connected for decades. What's stuck with me is how ordinary it is. We can track food, sleep, steps, but not the people who know us well enough to notice when something's off. #LongevityNation
You can't turn back the clock, but you can wind it up again. The real driver of vibrant years is not a perfect step count. It's muscle, and every bit of movement counts. What's your one move today? #LongevityNation
Welcome to the garden. Staying socially engaged is one of the most important things you can do for a long, healthy life, and that includes friendships across generations. Age segregation isn't healthy for anyone. #LongevityNation
Motion is lotion.
Ran the Copenhagen SuperHalf on Sunday. It was my 22nd, across all 7 continents (yes, Antarctica too).
Find your movement. Do it every day, for yourself. Your healthy longevity depends on it.

At 63, Brian had never run a mile. At 65 he finished the London Marathon in 4:12. Our retired lives can be about more than just taking it easy. It's a chance to discover what we're capable of. This is what life layering looks like. Read our Q&A: bit.ly/4j82MlU
