Starting in the decade of 2030, actual demographic milestones of the US population will mark the most transformative period in our country's history, thanks in large part to: a) Baby Boomers aging into their twilight years; b) advancements in technology; and c) an ever-increasing illegal immigrant population requiring, and in some instances demanding, that social services (including voting rights) be afforded them even though they have never provided any contribution to the public coffers since entering the country; and by most accounts, beyond the decade of 2030, the US population is projected to grow at a much slower pace, age considerably, and eventually become more racially diverse and ethnically tolerant. In fact, by the year 2035, despite a slowing population growth, the US population is expected to see older adults actually outnumber children for the first time ever, while an international population continues to grow at a very moderate pace.

The Transformation of a Trillion Dollar Industry is a fascinating journey through the eyes of a $1.2 trillion industry that recognizes lessons learned from the past, impacts being felt today, and future disruptions that many see coming sooner rather than later. It's also a macro - and micro - economic journey that most futurist and forward thinkers will tell you is not going to be a pleasant one starting around the year 2030, but one that most everyone living today in the US, as well as communities and cultures around the world, will be taking in one form or another whether they like it or not as they go about their day.
