Saving Bill Belichick - If He Can Surrender to What Aging Does to Us
If Bill Belichick came to me for a tarot reading I have a hunch one card that would be pulled is the Eight of Cups. That's the Walking Away card.
In the distance, if the walker-away looks up from the pain of letting go what had been, is a mountain representing new opportunity.
In the relationship with the significantly younger Jordan Hudson Belichick is looking mighty foolish. The tipping point had been the CBS interview.
Obviously Hudson is what the coach great has to walk away from. That entails accepting what aging does to us and then going on from there.
The latest illusions about aging include:
You don't look your age. So what. The age bias still erodes much. Your energy isn't what it had been. In an interview even Energizer Bunny head of law firm Paul Weiss Brad Karp, in his 60s, conceded to sometimes being exhausted.
Warren Buffett is still at it in his 90s and Martha Stewart in her 80s. So what. They have lots of resources to help them stay at it that many others who are aging don't have. Can we sustain outstanding professional performance?
Unlike Gen Z, we have so much professional experience. So what. Much of that, be it about business models or marketing, likely is out of date. There's the burden of unlearning. At Disney, when he returned as CEO Bob Iger had a lot of that to do since the media landscape had changed significantly.
We are healthy. So what. Essentially aging means being on a sinking ship. For most of us it's just a matter of time before we have to line up all those pill bottles.
If Belichick surrenders to the realities of aging he could launch a fresh career as an influencer on the subject. We need raw assessments, just like he can deliver after the Hudson interlude, of how transformative that phase of life is and the optimism of how we can size up and exploit new opportunities.
Me? As technology was eating my lunch and dinner and breakfast in content-creation I was forced to make a sideline - tarot reading/intuitive coaching - the primary source of income. A stunner is that it brings me even more satisfaction that being a creative had.
