The Midlife Chrysalis

Why Midlife Men Struggle with Identity & Purpose Today | Greg Scheinman


Listen Later

Ever wonder what happens when “success” still feels empty?

At 47, Greg Scheinman looked like he had it all, career, family, success, yet felt completely lost. That moment pushed him to reinvent himself and create Midlife Male, a movement helping men find purpose, strength, and authenticity in midlife.

In this episode, we dive into what modern masculinity really means, why so many men struggle with identity and purpose, and how to turn a midlife crisis into a life by design.


Tune in to learn how Greg turned breakdown into breakthrough and how you can too.
