The $96 Trillion Wake-Up Call: The Epilogue Economy in Focus
By 2050, individuals aged 50 and older are expected to account for 60% of consumer spending in 60 of the core 76 economies worldwide.
I explores the rise of the Epilogue Economy, where experience, ambition, and economic power converge, and why brands, agencies, and business leaders need to stop marketing to nostalgia and start designing for relevance. Itβs not about age. Itβs about advantage. open.substack.com/pub/imayberi...

My first client for RockPaperScissors was @aherasimchuk.bsky.social, the legendary UI guy who led the redesigns of the Adobe creative tools. After his time at Figma, he launched his own shop - Seldon Digital. If you are a creative, a builder, or even a publisher, this tool is a must see.

My (continued) advice to those over 50. Strategies for Continuous Growth and Relevance
As many of you have read, I am a big believer that 50 is the new mid-career, give or take.
I am a big believer that 50 is the new mid-career, give or take. Now, I didnβt figure this out until I approached 60, and was concerned about what I was going to do with the second half of my life, should I be blessed with that.

On moving, anniversaries, and avoiding conflicts.
RockPaperScissors has a new home, just a few minutes walk from the Orchard Road area of Singapore.
On moving, anniversaries, and avoiding conflicts. Moving house. Just saying those words fills me with anxiety, excitement, opportunity, and well, sheer terror.

In my 1-1 sessions, I ask one question, and I am always surprised by the answer.
I provide 1-1 workshops in GenAI.
I provide 1-1 workshops in GenAI. The experience level of those that work with me are typically very senior in their organization. I always try to work in this important question. βWhen was the last time you read your competitorβs annual report?β

Why Gen X's 60th Matters More Than You Think
Unlike their Boomer predecessors, Gen X brings a unique perspective to their sixth decade. They were the first generation to embrace personal computers, navigate the dawn of the internet, and adapt to social media. This combination makes them unique.

1. 60 doesnβt feel as old as I thought it would be when I was 30.
2. In the grand scheme of things, our time on this Earth is not very long. Why be an asshole?
3. I learned more from my father than I give him credit for.

When war is framed as a game, the stakes become easier to ignore. We swap fear for fascination, horror for heroics, and the messy ethics of violence for the clean logic of competition. That was Orwellβs point.

Weβre becoming great at prompting, but sometimes, at the cost of thinking. This essay challenges the way we approach generative AI: not as performers feeding formulas, but as humans leading with curiosity, contradiction, and chaos.
