The Old Glam of 1960s Rebellion New Again - Zohran Mamdani, Ryan Powers, Rachel Cohen and You Can Loop In

For those willing to stick their necks out just a bit, the glam of the 1960s is available again. That was a time when anyone could loop into the influence and power of street theatre.

We were all stars. The celebrity status didn't require money. Some will recall how dumpster diving and having only one pair of jeans washed nightly were a political statement. But it was okay to have wealth, as long as it was shared, somewhat. 

That heady state of being is open again. To start orbiting in it all you need is to be just a wee bit brave in veering away from what is currently the status quo. In opinion. In lifestyle. In how to support yourself. In how you consume. In your role models. 

Examples of those who opted out to get in are Harvard educated lawyers Ryan Powers and Rachel Cohen. But you can also gain entry in a big way like Zohran Mamdani has in the way he's running for mayor of New York City. 

What a relief to no longer feel less-than because you're not a billionaire, a millionaire or even in a job at JP Morgan Chase, McKinsey or Paul Weiss. 

You can still like yourself. 

You can still be heard. 

You can be a valued source of information about the best thrift shops, cheap states to find housing and how to start up your own piece of heaven, that is a small business. 

Ambition has been redefined. 

This experience is open to all generations. Boomers no longer have to fear living longer than their money holds out. Spending is being defined. 

But don't count out the opportunity to become wealthy through the courage of activism. It's the second decade of the 21st century version of being a "preacher" or spiritual leader. Some of those preachers who founded mega churches landed into a gold mine. In this article I project the possible good life for former Davis Polk associate Ryan Powers. 

In coaching, I guide clients to approach the current chaos - economic, political, moral - as opportunity. To take advantage of it you have to think differently about life and work. You can be poor. But you can become rich. Nothing and no one should be holding you back. Available again are the possibilities of the 1960s.
