From the CEO

Growing Bolder is not about defeating, cheating, or retreating from aging. Growing Bolder is simply about embracing the keys to wellness and engaging in life, in our own way, to the extent that we’re able. It’s about adapting to our challenges, seizing our opportunities, and living with passion and purpose.

Our cover story is one of family, faith, love, and music. It’s about surviving and thriving. At the age of 81, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Roger McGuinn is living his best life. From a true rock star to our Rock Stars of Aging®, we share what we’ve learned from our decades-long study of men and women who are still loving life in their 90s and 100s.

We also share the story behind one of the most ambitious undertakings ever by a real estate developer to contribute to the health and wellness of its residents. The Villages Grown is utilizing cutting edge technology and proprietary methodology in what’s known as controlled environment agriculture to deliver fresh, flavorful, non-GMO, herbicide, and pesticide-free produce from farm-to-table in just 24-48 hours.

We wrap up our coverage of the inspiring 2023 National Senior Games in Pittsburgh and our experts weigh in on the benefits of mindful breathing, the biggest Internet threats targeting older adults, and a surprise guest contributor offers a primer on how ChatGPT can make a difference in your life.

Hosted by award-winning broadcaster Marc Middleton, What’s Next! features a team of well-known Florida broadcasters and personalities, including Secily Wilson, Amy Sweezey, and Bill Shafer, all shining the spotlight on ordinary people living extraordinary lives.
