In this week’s episode I am joined by Greg Scheinman! Greg’s philosophy toward work and life is simple: surround yourself with people you love and trust and ideas you care about. Bring passion, authenticity, humility, and transparency to everything you do.   Greg Scheinman has experienced the highest highs— two seven-figure exits from companies he founded or helped build, success as a high-level executive— and the lowest lows— the loss of his father, panic attacks, depression, and alcoholism.   Through it all, he’s developed a method for maximizing your life to fulfil your potential and start living during a time when too many believe they’re “past their prime.”   Now, he’s living his message every day as the Founder & Face of Midlife Male, the premier digital media platform for Middle Aged Men and the brands that want to reach them.   Greg is also a former partner at Insgroup, acquired by BRP (NASDAQ) and the founder and former CEO of Team Baby Entertainment, acquired by Michael Eisner of Disney. He was also the founder and CEO of ROW Studios, producer of two successful feature films, and advisor to multiple CPG brands.   At 50 years old, Greg is in the best condition of his life. He is a 2x winner of The D10 Decathlon, took 3rd place at HYROX Nationals, and participates in Adventure Challenges including 29029 Eversting, DekaFit and Spartan. Greg is also an ISSA certified trainer and CrossFit L1 trainer.   Key Points • Create a total life portfolio that reflects your individuality and makes you feel your best. • Find what works for you in terms of personal passions and professional expertise. • Recognize the importance of seeking help and surround yourself with professionals who can guide and support you. • Goals without systems are empty; implement systems to achieve your goals. • Personal and professional aspects of life are interconnected. • Taking care of oneself is selfless and allows for better interaction with others.
