Growing Bolder’s Launchpad to What’s Next

While the 50+ demographic is very diverse, they have common fears and shared desires. They know there is an entirely new life stage that has never before existed and they're both excited and nervous about it. They all wonder one thing-- What's Next? And how do I create it? Marc Middleton identifies their bigger fears, answers their biggest questions and inspires the lifestyle changes that lead to healthy aging and active longevity. In a session punctuated with inspiring videos, Marc shares the stories of ordinary people living extraordinary lives revealing how changing attitudes on aging are dispelling the outdated and ageist stereotypes of life in our 60s, 70s, 80s and beyond. Marc reveals how we age according to our beliefs and details the keys to reprogramming our belief system and making the fundamental and critical mind shift that allows even those with serious physical and mental impairment to embrace the opportunities of age.
