Why baby boomers rock & retirement is an illusion. Live interview with Paul Long

Why baby boomers rock & retirement is an illusion. Live interview with Paul Long

“Boomers are tech-dinosaurs! Boomers are patronizing! Boomers are so old-school” - I regularly read such comments on social.

I so SO S.O. disagree with these statements. But I am not an expert on this topic. That's why I decided to interview one. Paul Long

Who is Paul? He is a Founder and Content Creator at ProBoomer and Paul Long Productions, a mentor and a dear friend.


During our LinkedIn Live we talk about questions like:

  • What is "traditional retirement" and what is the new perception of retirement? 
  • Mind-blowing facts about babyboomers 
  • Skills that are relevant to be ready for the new retirement phase 
  • Is it hard to find a job as a baby boomer? And why? How can I skill-up?
  • Is retirement an illusion? 
  • Are baby boomers totally underestimated?
  • Is ageism the main problem here, or it is connected to something else? 
  • What is ProBoomer.com? 

And many more!

Natalia, thank you for reposting. Let me share some interesting new developments since our interview: ?? Thru this interview and other interactions I discovered it is mostly people in their late 30s to late 50s who are the most interested in viewing this phase of life entirely differently out of desire or desperate financial needs. ?? For that and other reasons, I am "pivoting" ProBoomer into New Way Forward (coming in March) to help "older" people (40+) with transitioning and transforming. ?? COVID accelerated people's needs and desires. ?? A lot of it is financial (getting let go, often because of age) and need to find new ways for income. A lot is also the desire to live with passion and purpose. ?? Therefore the trend of "older" people transforming their lives, starting businesses, becoming professional gig workers is exploding. ?? And yes, the need and desire for personal branding are both critical and desperately sought. Therefore, thank goodness for Natalia because she equips us all with the tools we need to succeed at our New Way Forward. And, through our co-mentoring process, she has been invaluable in helping me with my ready-fire-aim approach (ProBoomner) and now my Ready Aim Fire success with NWF.
