I have always thought that the way that aging has been portrayed in our society is so wrong. To work hard your whole life and then “retire” and become less meaningful and almost invisible while you deal with one health issue after another is not really appealing, is it? I’ve got better ideas. I want this new and final phase to be pleasurable and rewarding as I go about my business of building a powerful legacy. I do focus on health, because health is the biggest factor in making your Third Age great! And, I want to show you how to do that too. Come on! Let's get your Mojo workin'! And, let's make our Third Age our Best Age Ever.

I’m Mike Vardy, and I help people build a better relationship with time — not by controlling it, but by working with it. Through my writing, courses, and community, I explore how intention and attention shape a more meaningful life — one rooted in the original idea of productiveness over productivity.
