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.
