The Epilogue Economy represents that powerful intersection of wealth, wisdom, and willingness to work that defines today's generation of experienced professionals.
This is a fundamental shift in how we think about career longevity paired with economic influence.
When you combine the fact that this demographic controls a huge portion of global disposable income with their desire to remain actively engaged in the workforce, you find a generation that's not winding down, but gearing up for their next story.
What is an epilogue?
Beware the old soldier.
He is old for a reason.
As we move forward into a time of transformative change in how we think about age and experience, this ancient military wisdom rings especially true. Like battle-tested veterans, experienced professionals haven't just survived decades of technological and market disruptions – they've mastered them.
From analog to digital, from traditional media to AI, they've not only adapted to each transformation but helped shape it. Their presence in today's workforce isn't a testament to mere survival, but to continuous evolution and strategic insight.
In the Epilogue Economy, these seasoned professionals represent what might be called "wisdom-driven innovation" – the powerful combination of deep experience and an unwavering hunger for what's next.

This quote is pretty much a touchstone for me, and one of the reasons I began writing about The Epilogue Economy.
