EPISODE #021 WITH GREG SCHEINMAN
In this straight to the gold episode, Jeff Scult flows heart-to-heart with Greg Scheinman—midlife alchemist, MaxLife architect, and living proof that the second act can be your boldest, brightest, most badass yet.
At 47, the age his father died, Greg found himself parked—engine running, soul stalled—asking the question no spreadsheet can answer: Is this really the life I came here to live?
That question cracked the shell. What came next? Not reinvention… but revelation.
Together, Jeff and Greg pull back the veil on what it really means to live in your fullness, not your facade. This isn’t about chasing youth—it’s about embracing truth, shaking the dust off your desires, and designing a life that hits different.
✨ What pours through in this drop:
Greg’s 6 Fs that rewire the formula of success: Family, Fitness, Finance, Food, Fashion, and Fun. (Not necessarily in that order.)
The subtle poison of “fine” and how mediocrity sneaks in wearing khakis.
Why doubt is a liar and uncertainty is the invitation.
The inside story behind building the Midlife Male movement—and why men everywhere are waking up to more.
The daily disciplines and internal rumbles that turn a midlife moment into a MaxLife momentum.
How to develop an operating system and an action plan?
This isn’t a podcast.
This is a permission slip.
To feel more.
To risk more.
To live like your soul is watching.
Because midlife isn’t the middle.
It’s the ignition.
