Open Up To A World Of Options

Life has been described in terms akin to a play. Shakespeare wrote:“All the world’s a stage and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances…”We also refer to periods in life as acts or chapters.For example, many of us have reached the Third Act, as writer Wayne Lehrer calls it – that time in life when we falsely believe the best has come and gone. It’s also a time that behooves all of us who are older to really consider carefully how we want to spend what could be another 30 years on earth. Because, remember, statistically if you are 65, you will likely live into your 90s.This period in life could also be called the Second Act - as in another chance, a kind of do-over, an opportunity to take a fork in the road toward adventures unknown.Author Jay Samit has very strong suggestions for how you can profitably spend those three decades and achieve a legacy at the same time.You ought to read Jay’s biography here.His professional life is pretty astonishing.As one of the original Tech Bros before there was such a thing, let alone such a phrase, Jay pioneered remarkable change in the world through technology.He is now an author of several books, the most recent titled The Second Act Advantage: Monetize Your Wisdom, Master Longevity and Build an Unforgettable Legacy.How? Several ways but they all revolve around making strong use of that elephant in the room: AI.Fear not; Jay’s recipe for success offers a new way to look at AI that is empowering. And very exciting.He talks about his book this week on The Art 2 Aging. This is a public episode.
