In this episode of Modern Financial Wellness, I talk to Jonathan Ainsley to explore the concept of flourishing longevity and how it relates to rethinking retirement. We talk about the importance of planning for not just financial stability but also personal well-being and purpose as people age. With people living longer, Jonathan challenges traditional retirement stereotypes and discusses a more dynamic vision that encompasses meaningful activities, health, mindset, and community involvement.

Jonathan has spent many years in the financial services industry in practice management and helped advisors help their clients plan for aging longer.  Along the way, he realized that most advisors and planners weren't working with clients on their plans for longevity and developed his own platform to help people change their mindset around retirement and aging and go into their later years with intention.

Jonathan also talks about the four main pillars of flourishing longevity: finance, mindset, health, and purpose. By addressing these pillars, individuals can enhance their quality of life and find fulfillment beyond their professional careers. We also discuss studies on aging and how mindset and lifestyle choices significantly impact overall health.
