Burned Out at 40? The Truth No One Tells High Achievers | With Philip Blanckett

In this Season 3 episode of Hines On Air, host Matt Hines interviews Philip Blackett, a coach and author of over 25 books who helps professionals navigate life after 40 with clarity, strength, and purpose. Philip shares how a midlife crisis around his 40th birthday in 2024—after relocating from Boston to Orlando and closing his cemetery-management business impacted by COVID—pushed him to reassess purpose, burnout, and family priorities. He explains common challenges for high performers in midlife, including rising work demands, aging bodies, family responsibilities, and changing technology, and emphasizes honest trade-offs between career and relationships. Philip outlines his focus on transforming health, wealth, and relationships through nutrition, exercise, mindset, and recovery, and debunks myths that it’s too late to change, self-care is selfish, or there’s no time to get healthier. 00:00 Season Three Welcome 00:24 Meet Philip Blackett 01:00 Midlife Crisis Origin Story 03:02 Business Collapse Lessons 05:24 Reset Button Move 07:08 Family Life In Transition 08:55 Helping Burned Out Execs 11:57 Reality Check Versus Focus 15:13 Work Family Tradeoffs 22:32 Health Wealth Relationships 23:32 Core Four Health Pillars 24:46 Debunking Midlife Myths 25:57 Consistency Over Biohacks 28:47 Daily Habits And Training 30:08 Where To Find Philip 30:54 Final Thanks And Outro Sponsor by Hines Law https://hineslaw.org/ Sponsor by Bravos Leadership https://bravosleadership.com/#
