Janet Macaluso argues that aging demands urgency to stop being a puppet and become the author of your own life. She draws on living systems theory to show why constant evolution isn't optional: you either grow or stagnate. For professionals navigating a 100-year lifespan, that means rethinking work to match your actual beliefs.

You know something about aging. It's influenced my work and my sense of urgency. It's motivated me to do videos and post on social media, even when I really don't like to do this stuff. But I realized that I can either be the puppet or the puppeteer in my life. And I've chosen to be the author of my life. Especially since we're living in this longevity economy or the 100 year era. And I have an important message now that I want to share with like minded professionals and change makers who really want a 21st century Living systems approach to thriving in a world that is in constant change and flux. And one of the first principles of living systems theory is that we are constantly evolving. And this has given me license to work differently and more consistently with my own beliefs than when I was younger.
