Life Expectancy

What’s the point?

I’ve always set my life expectancy by comparing myself to my Dad. Dad lived to be 92 – Exactly. It was a goal to make it to 92 and he did.
 
Unfortunately, I’m not as slim and trim as Dad was, but I’m in reasonable health for my age and I figured I had another 20-25 years left to go.
 
Apparently, despite the increase in longevity over the years, the current estimate for a man my age is 16 more years. That of course is the AVERAGE which if you look at it in a glass half empty way means that half of the men will die BEFORE then.
 
To put that in perspective, I’ve already lived four times that long and believe me that seems like just an instant ago.
 
A whole life gone. POOF!
 
Then there is the PRODUCTIVE life-expectancy. I’m past the average retirement age for men in my state which is one of the highest in the U.S.
 
On the other hand …
 
I built multiple sites in the top 3,000 sites on the Internet AFTER I was 50.
 
I was almost 60 when I published my FIRST best-selling book.
 
I was over 60 when I completed my first short film.
 
And I could be over 70 when I complete my first film trilogy.
 

In fact, almost everything most of you know about me happened in the LAST 16 YEARS. Who’s to say the next 16 can’t be more amazing?

All the best,

About Ken McArthur

Ken McArthur is the founder of ConnectLab.live, an AI relationship-intelligence and warm-intro platform that helps founders who are raising find the funds that fit and the people who can introduce them, and helps fund managers connect with the founders they back. He was recently accepted into Harvard Business School Foundry. He also writes Raise Smarter, a daily newsletter on what's really moving in early-stage fundraising. Ken challenges us to realize we ALL have an impact, whether we want to or not, on thousands of people we touch in our day-to-day lives, and he shows that simple things make a HUGE difference. ConnectLab.live grew out of that belief. Connection is the currency of the 21st Century, and the right introduction can change a company's future. Long before ConnectLab, Ken was the popular host of live events that brought together top-level marketers, entrepreneurs, business owners, corporations and non-profit organizations to build multi-million dollar joint venture relationships. He has managed product launches ranked in the top 400 sites on the Internet and is regularly asked to speak at leading marketing events. He created AffiliateShowcase.com, a pioneering affiliate program search engine and directory. He also founded the MBS Internet Research Center, which conducted the world's largest survey ever attempted on creating and launching successful information products. Ken was the official mentor for Sterling Valentine as he took his launch from zero to over $100,000 in less than 8 days, a proof of concept documented in Info Product Blueprint. Today he puts that same skill for connecting people and launching ideas to work for founders and the investors who back them.
