Description

What happens when men hit their 40s with all the trappings of success but a gnawing emptiness inside? Greg Scheinman shares his awakening at 47 — the same age his father died — when he realized professional achievement alone wasn't enough. He introduces his "six F's" framework (family, fitness, finance, food, fashion, and fun) as a roadmap for midlife men stuck in the "over-indexing trap" of prioritizing career above all else. Instead of fearing midlife as the beginning of the end, Greg challenges men to embrace this season as their opportunity to rewrite the script and find authentic fulfillment. [Episode 100]


Greg Scheinman is the Founder & CEO of Midlife Male Ventures, Bestselling Author, Coach, Speaker, & Entrepreneur.
