Midlife Crisis – How to Thrive as We Get Older

Will you become impotent or get stronger and more impactful as you age?

What if hustling is a symptom of an unhealthy mindset?

And what can you do when you realize that society’s dreams of success are based on bullshit?

Today author and coach Mark Silverman and I discuss the process of finding more power and ease as we get older, understanding what keeps us stuck, and why too many men have it all but still feel unfulfilled.

In this interview:

  • Mastering Midlife
  • “Your dreams are bullsh*t”
  • Why life isn’t a ZZ Top video
  • Tripp’s Pre-F*ck-It and Post-F*ck-It strategy for growth
  • Finding relaxation from letting go of our expectations

Plus:

  • How to thrive as we get older
  • Why most people anesthetize, cover it up, or blow it up
  • Learning how to deal with fear, resistance, and the unknown
  • Why bother going through the suck of learning?
  • Why hustling is often a sign of an unhealthy mindset

Also:

  • Dr Joe Dispenza, Steve Hardison, the Law of Attraction, and New Age Bullsh*t
  • Trying to escape the pain, uncertainty, and effort of life
  • The danger of having it all but still feeling unfulfilled
