Celebrating Middle Age

What if resilience isn’t about gritting your teeth, powering through, or becoming tougher than the next hard thing?

Seven-time world champion endurance athlete Rebecca Rusch and clinical psychologist, Marine Corps veteran, and fellow athlete Dr. Jaimie Lusk have both learned – through loss, injury, recovery, service, and time far beyond their comfort zones – that the body often knows something the mind hasn’t yet caught up with.

In this live conversation with host Derek Gehl, they’ll explore what happens when we stop treating our limits as failures. They’ll talk about fear versus danger, the stories we bring to challenge, the surprising intelligence of movement, and how time outdoors can help us find a steadier way forward.

Join them for an honest, wide-ranging conversation—and a first look at their May workshop, Wild Resilience, at Rising Circle Ranch in Santa Fe.

Legacy isn’t simply something we leave behind. It’s something we create every day through how we lead and love, how we respond under pressure, the relationships we cultivate, the choices we make, and ultimately, how people experience us.

Join Paragon Performance Evolution co-founders Jeff Benton and Brett Weinroth for a candid conversation about what changes when we stop treating legacy as a distant outcome and begin paying closer attention to how we’re living right now.

Over the past decade, Jeff and Brett have worked with some of the world’s highest performers – from entrepreneurs and family enterprises to corporate leaders, professional athletes, Special Forces, global first ladies, and astronauts. Across remarkably different lives, they’ve seen a common question emerge:

What might change if we brought the same intention to how we live that we’ve brought to everything we’ve built?

Together, they’ll explore what it means to become more present in our lives, why we can know what matters most and still struggle to live in alignment with it, and how the ordinary choices we make in our relationships, leadership, and moments of pressure shape who we are becoming.

Jeff and Brett will also share more about Living Your Legacy, a six-month MEA experience beginning in January 2027. Through two in-person retreats at Rising Circle Ranch, private coaching, and monthly cohort gatherings, participants will have the space, support, and community to explore what matters most now, what may be getting in the way, and how to live the next chapter with greater intention.

You know you need change. You might even know what you want. Yet you’re still stuck standing still. Reflection, direction, and intention are good starts, but insight without action is just a nicer kind of stuck.

To create real momentum, you need an action brief: a sharp, sticky, singular declaration that makes action irresistible. Join author and strategist Bonnie Wan alongside host Mary Hofstedt for a live conversation on how to move from reflection to declaration.

Bonnie will share her methodology for getting messy, refining your true desires, reframing limiting beliefs, and translating clarity into daily action. She will also give a preview of her upcoming four-day MEA workshop, The Action Brief: Your Time Is Now, taking place January 31–February 4 in Santa Fe.
