Midlife gets a bad rap. People call it a crisis, but really, it can be clarity. It’s that moment when you realize the status quo no longer works—the career, the pace, or even the version of success you’ve been pursuing.
In this Midlife Remix anniversary episode, Steven Miyao revisits conversations with guests who stopped living by someone else’s definition of success and started building lives that actually fit who they are now.
Hear from Larry Kihlstadius, Paul Hatch, Kim Mustin, and Mike Ma as they share lessons on freedom, leadership, courage, caregiving, and finding meaning through change. These stories are proof that midlife isn’t an ending—it’s a turning point.
