In our last conversation, Dan Pontefract gave us a demographic wake-up call. The future of work is Aging, and longer lives will require new thinking about careers, retirement, and contribution.
Today, Scott Siff brings that to the practical level: how do we create better pathways for people who want to keep contributing, but not necessarily in the same way? And what are employers missing when they overlook experienced talent?
His story begins with his father’s frustrating search for a new job in his 70s, and builds into a larger conversation about age bias, unretirement, labor shortages, and the need to redesign work for longer lives.

There are many podcasts on retirement, often hosted by financial advisors with their own financial motives, that cover the Money side of the street. This podcast is different. You’ll get smarter about the investment decisions you’ll make about the most important asset you’ll have in retirement: your time.
“A 65-year-old today is like a 45-year-old 20 years ago. And I’m not saying that theoretically, that’s what the science is finding.”
