Paul Long has created New Way Forward to spread his ideas about how older adults can approach the new realities of longer lifespans and changing demographics. In this interview, Paul talks about his lifelong desire to be a storyteller and how that caused him to make a major career pivot. We also discuss:

* Why Retirement is not for everyone.

* The power of intention to bring about the changes we desire.

* How to channel intention or, if you prefer, to create new neural pathways.

* The scientifically proven, No. 1 factor in whether older adults enjoy good health.

* How outdated beliefs limit us from achieving what we want.
