Manage episode 493188700 series 3654798
In this episode of Founders Future, with host Jae Encarnacion, we meet Jerry Cahn, CEO of Age Brilliantly—a psychologist, attorney, and serial entrepreneur on a mission to redefine longevity. Jerry shares his "Shanghai moment" of self-reflection that sparked the idea for Age Brilliantly, a platform helping people plan for 100-year lives through community, assessments like the upcoming Fulfillment Index, and multi-generational mentorship. He reveals how the company’s "8 Essentials" framework (from purpose to financial freedom) empowers members to break ageist stereotypes, citing inspiring members like 92-year-old entrepreneur Ed and 101-year-old Iris, who landed a Wall Street Journal front-page feature.
Jerry unpacks Age Brilliantly’s unique model: a future public company where members are shareholders, blending free weekly workshops with premium coaching and tools. He discusses Project Thrive, their corporate initiative addressing AI-driven workforce shifts, caregiver challenges, and the "sandwich generation." With plans to expand globally, Jerry’s advice is timeless: "Start with the assumption you’ll live to 100—how do you want to spend those opportunity years?" His "Age Brilliantly Mindset" reframes longevity as a marathon, not a sprint, where compounding growth applies to life’s 8 dimensions, not just finances.
