Look around you: Our communities are filled with people in their 60s, 70s, 80s, even 90s, doing things that would have been unthinkable at their age a generation ago. By 2030, the entire Baby Boomer generation will be 65 and older.  But what does it mean to be old in an era of much longer life?

Welcome to Century Lives: The New Old, from the Stanford Center on Longevity. In this season, we interview six extraordinary people who are challenging the way we think about aging.

Diana Nyad. Her name is synonymous with courage, endurance, and the relentless pursuit of possibility. From Diana’s record-breaking swim from Cuba to Florida at age 64, to her trailblazing career as a journalist and motivational speaker, to her latest passion authoring children’s books, Nyad continually redefines what it means to test one’s limits. She shares her story as a woman whose perseverance has inspired millions to “never, ever give up.”
