Redefining Masculinity: Age Out Loud

Find your brotherhood in Authentic AF. Visit https://www.skool.com/authenticaf/about Age Out Loud: Redefining Aging, Mindset, and Men’s Purpose Host Andy Grant welcomes Chris Moore, author of "Age Out Loud," to discuss reframing aging as vitality, reinvention, and purpose rather than decline. Moore explains how limiting beliefs and cultural ageism—often reinforced by media—shape expectations, noting that ageism is a prejudice against our future selves and that “old” can be a state of mind. Using examples such as Roger Bannister’s four-minute mile and elders who remain active, he urges listeners to question inherited stories about what’s “impossible.” Chris shares how losing his first wife, Barbara, to lung cancer shifted his mission, teaching him the power of perspective and gratitude. He outlines seven pillars of ageless vitality—mindset, nutrition, exercise, sleep, relationship with God, relationship with others, and brain health—and highlights men’s common struggles with connection and asking for help. The episode closes with resources to find Chris Moore’s book, podcast, and communities, plus an invitation to Andy’s Authentic AF group at realmenfeel.org/group. 00:00 Welcome and Big Idea 00:51 What Age Out Loud Means 02:41 Why Aging Feels Like an Insult 05:51 Subtle Ageism and Work 09:40 Old as a State of Mind 10:48 Expectations and Four Minute Mile 14:12 Rewriting Beliefs and Potential 18:33 Loss, Grief, and New Purpose 23:38 Men, Aging, and Relevance 28:53 Seven Pillars of Vitality 30:18 Connection and Asking for Help 34:23 Where to Find Chris 36:58 What Men Need to Know 40:28 Closing Takeaways and Invite Connect with Chris Age Out Loud — https://ageoutloudbook.com/ LinkedIn — https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-moore-7505b0259/ Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/share/g/14paptPGVZ1/Resources Age Out Loud: How to Live a Purposeful, Fulfilling Life in the Years that Matter Most — https://amzn.to/4wHUJ3j Podcast — Aging In Place Is a Team Sport Connect with Andy: Join other like-minded men in the Authentic AF Community | https://www.realmenfeel.org/group Instagram | @realmenfeelshow & @theandygrant Andy Grant | https://theandygrant.com for coaching, healing, and book info!
