Jeanne Louise Calment lived to 122 years of age (a species record). Who would have thought such an age was achievable? How would you feel, betting against such a long life, and losing on the deal? Shawn and Mark discuss how a business might use this story to illustrate the unexpected nature of planning, and the danger of 'the sure thing'. The post 194 – French reverse mortgage – Jeanne Calment appeared first on Anecdote.
