For many of us men, entering middle life can feel unsettling if not downright upsetting. We talk about being more than halfway through life, on the back nine, or some other less-than-tantalizing description of this stage of life.
But it doesn't have to be that way. In fact, it can be the beginning of the richest part of life. We know more than we used to. And we can apply that knowledge to live more fully than we ever have.
I was recently a guest on the Midlife Male podcast with Greg Scheinman (https://midlifemale.com/). I loved our conversation, subsequently read his book (also called Midlife Male) and found it engaging and full of insights. So, I decided to have him as a guest on this podcast for you, dear listener. As you will hear, Greg is a man rich with vitality and one who has given a lot of thought to this stage of life. I am impressed with how fully he lives while simultaneously how selectively he lives. That is, there are so many things that he could do that he does not do because they are not consistent with his focus.
I like that!
So, listen in as Greg and I talk about living more fully in midlife.

Flirting. Could it be an important skill for us to cultivate? My guest says YES—no matter our station in life.
And when you hear his definition, you’ll learn that it’s not just about sex, dating, or romance. It can be done in friendly contexts and can cultivate friendships as well.
Benjamin Camras (https://www.instagram.com/benjamincamras/?hl=en) is a flirt coach, and he unpacks what flirting is, why it’s important, and how to do it! Of course, many of his clients are people who are looking for love but, as you’ll hear, it’s not a skill solely reserved for them alone.
So, listen in as Benjamin and I talk about flirting and how you might be able to improve your abilities to do it!
You can connect with Benjamin on Instagram, TikTok, stream the Flirtations Flirtcast everywhere you listen to podcasts, and find out more about working together 1:1 here.

Status. It’s something we want but might have difficulty admitting its presence or acknowledging we want it.
Except it’s pretty much always around us and, according to my guest, it’s a fundamental human need. It can drive the levels to which we receive respect and how we think about ourselves.
Dr. Alison Fragale (https://alisonfragale.com/) is a professor at the University of North Carolina, a keynote speaker, and the author of a book I loved called Likeable Badass: How Women Get the Success They Deserve. I’m not alone in my love for this book. Wharton professor and author Adam Grant said the book is “The ultimate guide for women to achieve their goals.”
So, listen in as Alison and I talk about status, how it relates to women, and how it can inform us all.
