Layoffs, Downsizing, Ageism: The Reality After 50 and My Plan to Beat It


You may have noticed I've been exploring a new path.


After 25 years in marketing, writing four books, speaking at events around the world and helping thousands of people with their marketing and LinkedIn, I'm ready for "what's next."


What's next for me?


To be honest, the details are still evolving.


I do know a lot of men in the later stages of their career who are also looking for "what's next."


Chances are, if you are over 50, your career will not end on your terms.


Layoffs, mergers, acquisitions, downsizing, and of course good old age discrimination will terminate your career in a split second.


It happened to me in what I thought was the prime of my career.


It was a slap in the face.


I do know I want my "what's next" to end on my terms.


This will be my grand finale.


I'm calling it my Epic Encore.


I decided I'm going to share my journey as I create my Epic Encore.


I'm focusing on what I love doing.


Saying "HELL NO" to everything else.


And figuring out who I want to help.


And saying "HELL NO" to the rest of you.


I'm doing a market research deep dive to see what my "HELL YES" people are looking for.


And what are they willing to pay.


I'm researching potential competitors and reviewing their offers and social media content.


I'm lining up a team of subject matter experts who will be my "faculty" to show us what's working now.


And how to create your own micropreneur business.


Where you work a few hours a week to stay in the game.


And we're going to have a ton of fun.


I'll be sharing my journey in the
Epic Encore Community.


I'd love to have you come along for the ride and create your own Epic Encore grand finale.


It time to answer this question for the last time...


WHO do you want to be when you grow up?

Grilled food and beer await a meal.

I spent this weekend watching The Bear season four, and it reminded me of something my grandfather would never have imagined when he arrived from Greece in the 1920s. Picture this: A young Greek immigrant with nothing but determination, deciding to open a restaurant in America. Did he know anything about running one? Not a clue. But what else would a Greek do? What made our family restaurant different wasn't just the food. It was the philosophy. Every morning we baked fresh bread, made pies...

I’ve done a lot of personal and professional growth work over the years. I was a massive consumer of personal development programs from Nightingale Conant. At one point, my wife Ellen asked me "Aren't you fixed yet?" Nothing from Nightingale Conant has rewired me like Zenith Mind OS. Before this, I was still running on patterns that held me back: overpreparing, overthinking, playing small. Now? I’m aware when those habits show up and I have the tools to move through them. I’m more aligned....

As I continue through Rich Schefren’s Zenith Mind OS, I realize this hasn’t just been a course. It’s been a complete rewiring of how I think, work, and live. This journey didn’t end when the modules did. The biggest breakthroughs came after the course. Now I see the old habits when they try to sneak back in: The urge to over-prepare instead of speaking The subtle ways I play small to stay safe The patterns that once protected me but now hold me back And for the first time, I’m not beating...
