What is 7EveryMinute about? What does 7EveryMinute even mean?

7EveryMinute is a podcast by, for, and about older adults, typically Baby Boomers and GenXers. The name was the rate that Baby Boomers were retiring when we first started back in June of 2019, but that number continues to increase when taken in total.

We are all about reenvisioning your life, no matter what your age, so that you are able
to live life more on your terms and less about how “society” or your friends and family think you should be living.

 What does that actually mean in practice?

 Helping you to discover, or rediscover, your true life vision.

Learning to set meaningful goals so that every day can feel more fulfilling.

Tips and tricks for motivation, such as identifying the real reasons behind what often seem to be meaningless chores and tasks.

Then when we talked to people our age, we found out that one of the biggest questions
was essentially, “What do I do now?!?”. Our generations are the beneficiaries of living
through a period of greatly increased life expectancy, but also pioneers (again) since
many programs, and especially societies’ expectations, still haven’t adjusted to the new
reality that 70+ year olds can still be vibrant, healthy, contributing members of society.

This led us to create learning materials and a community focused on guiding us through
this brand-new life phase of life, where our chronological age says we should retire, but
our biological age says we will likely have decades more to live and contribute.

Why is this relevant to you?

A lot has changed since our parents’ time. Pensions mostly disappeared, health care
costs have soared, there were periods of high inflation, and much more. But there were
also many benefits. Quality of health and life has improved for many people, life
expectancy is much longer, there are many changes in society that make living with
