Dorian Mintzer’s Interviews with Experts Series: Vicki Thomas

Join Dorian Mintzer for a special conversation with Vicki Thomas, a writer, a Purpose Prize Winner, a two-time cancer survivor, and the Chief Purpose Officer of My Future Purpose, where they help people rediscover meaning, reinvention, and community in the second half of life.

In January, 2026, she joined the first wave of Boomers entering their 80’s. As she says, “For the first time, millions are living decades longer and creating one of the greatest untapped resources on earth: experience and wisdom.” She recently published her book, From Woodstock to Wisdom: A Boomers Journey to 80. It’s a humorous, heartfelt look at aging in the generation that changed everything, from VW vans to Medicare plans, from protest to purpose, from free love to free shipping.  She documents what aging feels like for the Baby Boomer generation, who have lived through one of history’s most dramatic cultural shifts.
