060: Maximizing Middle Age: How to See Midlife as the Best Time of Your Life with Greg Scheinman

In this episode of The Modern Man, I'm joined by Greg Scheinman, author and podcast host of The Midlife Male. Tune in as we have a rich discussion about how to maximize middle age, see midlife as something aspirational (instead of something to fear), and realize that our best years are ahead of us. Inspired by his 30 year journey of entrepreneurship, marriage, and navigating the transition to midlife, Greg shares his five rules to transforming from mediocre to maximized. Greg highlights the power of producing more than you consume, building your own framework for success, and believing that the middle truly is the sweet spot. He then details how proving yourself can either be a trap or a path to transformation. "Focus on the actions, not the outcome… because the outcome is the result of the series of actions that we take day in and day out."  – Greg Scheinman More isn't better. Better is better. You get to define what your measure of success and working with great people will help you figure that out. Key Takeaways / What You'll Learn: [00:48] About Greg Scheinman.
