In this episode, we unpack the paradox of getting old: why so many of us are drawn to the idea of living a long life, yet feel uneasy about the prospect of actually growing old. Inspired by a thought-provoking Andy Rooney quote, we dig into what really makes longevity appealing—and explore how having a compelling future, meaningful connections, and a strong sense of purpose might be the true ingredients for healthy ageing.

We share plenty of lively anecdotes, from table tennis victories to observations made at the golf club, and bring in real-life inspirations like the legendary Gary Player and Dick Van Dyke.

Through their stories, we discover that what most of us truly fear is not ageing itself—but ageing unsuccessfully. Together, we look at how love, movement, and engagement can completely reshape the way we approach our later years.

Whether you’re listening while out on a walk, washing the dishes, or simply taking a moment to reflect, we invite you into an engaging conversation that will challenge your perspective on what it means to age well—and reveal why it is that none of us really want to “get old.”
