What does it really mean to live longer — and how do we prepare for a future defined by extended lifespans?
In this episode of the Tao of Chao Podcast, Philip Chao welcomes Surya Kolluri, Head of the TIAA Institute, for an in-depth discussion on longevity, retirement planning, cognitive health, and the evolving realities of aging societies.
Key insights include:
• The rise of longevity literacy and why so few people understand their true lifespan
• How to build longevity fitness across financial, physical, cognitive, and social dimensions
• The deep connection between health and wealth — and why disparities are widening
• Why planning should focus on income stability, not just accumulated savings
• The growing threat of elder fraud and cognitive decline
• How social connection dramatically reduces mortality risk
• The emergence of age-friendly cities, intergenerational learning, and the longevity economy
Tune in for a grounded, human-centered conversation on how longer lives will reshape families, institutions, and society — and how each of us can prepare with clarity and intention.
