Hello there, I’m Philip Blackett. And on Thanksgiving Day in 2024, I turned 40. What should’ve felt like a celebration ended up sparking something entirely different. A mid-life reflection — or let’s be real, almost a crisis. That day, while everyone else was focused on turkey and pumpkin pie, I found myself staring into the second half of my life, unsure of what it was supposed to mean. The ambitions that used to drive me in high school, college, and even early adulthood — money, status, recognition — just didn’t hit the same. My body was changing, my priorities were shifting, and I realized that what mattered to me now was much deeper: Legacy. Longevity. Family. Purpose. Wellness. And so began a new journey… I made a decision that day to redefine what life after 40 could look like — not just for me, but for anyone ready to take control of their health, energy, and mindset for the next 40 years. Life After 40 is the platform I wish existed when I hit that turning point. What is most important to Philip and what truly forms his identity is his relationship with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Philip’s mission for the rest of his life is to Grow His People, Grow His Businesses, and Grow His Kingdom as a good and faithful steward of all God has entrusted him while having a positive influence on all whom he encounters each day as a #KingdomMan. Professionally speaking, Philip is passionate about helping entrepreneurs and small business owners grow their dream businesses while utilizing his skillset in sales, marketing, and business development. Previously, Philip served as President of Cemetery Services, Inc., a seven-figure business he bought based in the Greater Boston area. It was “his pleasure” to serve as a Manager for a Chick-fil-A restaurant. At FedEx, Philip previously provided support to several senior Marketing executives (including the current CEO) as a Senior Communications Specialist after working on its Corporate Social Responsibility team. Before FedEx, Philip advised investors on Wall Street in New York City as an Equity Research Analyst for Goldman Sachs, where he helped recommend investments in over 100 publicly traded companies across 10 industries. @https://www.facebook.com/happier40after/ https://www.instagram.com/happier40after/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/philipblackett https://x.com/happier40after https://LifeAfter40.com [email protected] @#fourpillarsofdestiny #lifeafter40 #PhilipBlackett#Midlife #personalgrowth #selfimprovement #wellbeing #empowerment
