The Global Show Podcast From ABC News to NASA at 50 Reinventing Life with David Mackey

Welcome back to The Global Show with Dave Benson.This week we unpack influencer culture, outrage economics,YouTube becoming a digital shopping mall, and why everyone now performs for thealgorithm.Then we sit down with David Mackey.After 24 years in broadcast television at ABC 13, David madea decision most people avoid. At 50, he walked away and rebuilt his life fromthe ground up. From newsroom editor to producing creative work for NASA. Fromcorporate stability to launching his own agency. From staying quiet toembracing personal truth later in life.In this conversation we explore reinventing yourself at anyage, the evolution of video editing and media technology, what it is reallylike working with NASA, being an identical twin, coming out later in life, thecourage it takes to pivot when comfort becomes a cage, and why storytellingstill matters in a distracted world.This is not a surface level interview. This is about risk,identity, reinvention and what happens when you decide it is not too late.If you want noise, the internet has plenty. If you wantperspective, you are in the right place.Subscribe herehttps://www.youtube.com/@TheGlobalShowwithDaveBenson?sub_confirmation=1Follow The Global ShowTikTok @theglobalshow2026Instagram @theglobalshowwithdavebensonFacebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61584258725761LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/dave-benson-6a0146340/Hashtags#TheGlobalShow #DavidMackey #CareerReinvention #NASA #MediaIndustry#CreativeEntrepreneur #PersonalGrowth
