I have reached the age where reporters constantly ask me why I am still working after a long tenure as a serial tech entrepreneur, including founding and running The RealReal for 11 years. It’s an odd question, and yet each time I find it newly funny how people expect others to fit into their perception of what people should be doing in their lives—and when.
Aging may be one of the least understood—and most misrepresented—frontiers of life. I guess I could be playing a round of golf every day, then heading to my club for ’tini time to discuss the game with my pals, and then maybe going out to dinner in some fine dining establishment, and then waking up and repeating. Or I could plan a cruise or learn how to dance the cha-cha or write a book…well, I have written a book (it will be out next year).
