The 100 Year Life - Michelle Flanagan
Episode Overview
In this START WELL ® episode, Dawn sits down with ourresident book reviewer Michelle Flanagan to unpack The 100-Year Life by Lynda Gratton and Andrew Scott.
The book challenges the traditional three-stage model oflife (education, career, retirement) and explores what happens when people routinely live into their 90s, 100s and beyond. The book aims to help people see longevity as a gift and not a curse.
Together, Dawn and Michelle discuss how longer lifespanswill reshape careers, financial planning, education, and the way young people think about their future. The conversation brings the ideas in to household conversations.
In This Episode We Discuss:
Why the “three-stage life” is becoming outdated
The rise of the multi-stage life
What this means for financial planning
Why investing in yourself matters
What this means for young people
If we’re truly heading toward 100-year lives, then financialdecisions in our teens, twenties, and thirties carry even more weight. Startingwell isn’t about perfection, it’s about building habits, skills, and financial confidence early so that a longer life becomes an opportunity rather than a risk.
