In an effort to recognize the contributions of great citizens in their 60s and beyond, Freedman’s organization gives out a number of “Purpose Prizes” each year. These prizes come with a $100,000 award toward the cause that is being led by each of these EntreMatures (my favorite new neologism) who are leading change and progress in what used to be regarded as a reclining stage of life.
Yeah, the times they are a-changin’, folks, but this time around it’s not the youth doing the changing. I guess it’s no small irony that as Bob Dylan continues touring incessantly in his 70s we would have a sea change around maturity and its unfolding potential for good. Change is coming as the new AGEnda takes hold in our society.
Do you know someone who is making a difference and flying in the face of social convention in their so-called retirement years? Drop me a line and tell me their story. We need to get these stories out. These are the new heroes in our world––the RetireMentors for the next generation proving that experience has no expiration date.
