Amazing conversations awaken a stronger sense of where the Boomer generation is heading. Amazing conversations instill clarity, insight, motivation … even hope. Amazing conversations showcase the brightest minds in Boomer business, marketing and aging today. Thought leaders. Trendsetters. For nearly a year, I have been undertaking a radio host odyssey on the WeEarth Global Radio Network. Dovetailing my new book, the show is entitled Generation Reinvention: How Boomers Are Changing the Future. Guests on my show have included a remarkable…

Boomers as Consumers, The New York Times, and the Value of Aging

October 5, 2012 | Brent Green, Boomers

“After 40 years of catering to younger consumers, advertisers and media executives are coming to a different realization: older people aren’t so bad, after all.” So goes the lead to a recent New York Times article about a marketing transformation underway. Suddenly the venerable newspaper has produced an article that unambiguously acknowledges what the marketing industry has been way-too-slow to accept: “older people,” namely Baby Boomers, are too lucrative to ignore even though over 80% of the generation has aged…

October 5, 2012 | Kavan Peterson, Editor, ChangingAging.org

In Memoriam: David B. Wolfe, author, thought leader and a friend for the ages

December 3, 2011 | Brent Green, Boomers

Most of us consider ourselves lucky if we find a single mentor early in life — someone who has the wisdom and compassion to lead us closer to our dreams, talents and values. It is even rarer to discover a mentor later in life who nudges us to reconsider where we’ve come from and where we’re heading next. One man I first met just eight years ago had an influence on me that changed the way I pursued a marketing…

Two Books for Your Heart

September 27, 2011 | Ronni Bennett, ChangingAging Contributor

You may have noticed that I don’t do book reviews. The main reason is that there are so many bad ones related to aging and I don’t see the point of writing about a book I threw across the room…
