ROAR: Michael Clinton on Why It's Time to Stop Acting Old—and Start Living Loud Again

from The Not Old - Better Show · host Paul Vogelzang Smithsonian

ROAR: Michael Clinton on Why It's Time to Stop Acting Old—and Start Living Loud Again The Truth About Aging No One Tells You—and What to Do About It Now Today's episode is brought to you by Wayfair, Every Style Every Home. We don't talk enough about what happens after success. In my latest conversation with Michael Clinton—former President of Hearst Magazines and author of ROAR Into the Second Half of Your Life—we explored a question many professionals quietly face: What now? For decades, the narrative has been clear—work hard, achieve, and then eventually step aside. But what if that model no longer fits the reality of longer, more active lives?  Michael offers a different perspective: don't retire—refire. What stood out most is how often limitation isn't physical—it's psychological. Many people begin to scale back not because they have to, but because they believe they should. The real shift is internal. Moving from external validation to internal alignment. From what looks impressive… to what actually feels meaningful. If you're in the second half of your career—or thinking about what comes next—this conversation may challenge more than your plans. It may challenge your assumptions. 🎧Listen on KLOI Community Radio! #Leadership #CareerGrowth #Aging #FutureOfWork #Purpose #LifelongLearning You can learn more about Michael and his work at roarforward.com, and as always, you can explore this episode and our full library at notold-better.com.  Today's episode is brought to you by Wayfair, Every Style Every Home.
