Master the Middle: A Midlife Reset for Men

Derek Gehl & Greg Scheinman
February 26, 2026 12:00 PM PT 03:00 PM ET

Join us for a live virtual event designed for men in midlife who want a stronger, sharper, more intentional second half of life. Greg Scheinman, founder of Midlife Male and bestselling author, is reshaping what it means to thrive in your 40s, 50s, and beyond.

Greg and MEA CEO Derek Gehl will unpack why so many men feel successful but drained, how midlife rewrites the rules for health, energy, and stress, and what it really takes to build an operating system that fits your real life — not an idealized version of it.

This is a punchy, practical conversation about midlife performance, longevity, and fulfillment — plus a preview of Greg’s upcoming MEA Baja workshop, Master the Middle: A Midlife Reset for Men.

Ready or Not: The Gen X Retirement Reality Check

Kari Cardinale, Kerry Hannon & Marci Alboher
March 4, 2026 12:00 PM PT 03:00 PM ET

The oldest Gen Xers turn 60 this year and many are realizing “retirement” doesn’t look anything like what we were promised. But it’s not too late to design what comes next with confidence, money smarts, and meaning.

Join personal finance expert Kerry Hannon and encore career advocate Marci Alboher for a candid, practical conversation about how to prepare for this next phase without panic or perfectionism.

They’ll get into what actually works:

  • Smart financial moves to make now, not someday
  • Second acts, third acts, and the rise of phased retirement
  • How intergenerational partnerships can keep you relevant and inspired
  • Kerry’s three-part “fitness plan” for a rewarding next chapter—financial, physical, and spiritual

No scare tactics. Just straight talk for a generation that’s rewriting the rules – again.
