Greg Scheinman has accrued more than a couple of titles over the years. He’s an insurance broker, a blogger, a fitness enthusiast, a father of two, and a husband of 20 years. He’s the producer of independent films, having started his career at Miramax Films in New York. He’s an entrepreneur whose children’s home entertainment venture, Team Baby Entertainment, was sold to the former CEO of Disney. And he’s a middle-aged man.
It’s the last of these titles that’s Greg’s focus for his podcast, Midlife Male. With 136 episodes under his belt to date, Greg realized the demographic he’s in is a traditionally underserved one. That’s because too often men are sold the message that middle age is something they need to fear rather than embrace. But that narrative is one Greg is determined to end.
“We’re talking about midlife men and how they’re navigating middle age to achieve a better quality of life — how they’ve turned their lives and careers around and how they’ve become a better husband and better father,” he says. “That’s where I am in my life, and that’s what I want to learn about.”
On that front, Greg has been far from alone. From Olympic gold medal winners to Grammy-winning artists to chefs and entrepreneurs and dads and average Joes down the street, everybody has a story worth telling, with trials and tribulations and lessons to share. Celebrating those stories, the wisdom that accompanies them, and what midlife men are achieving in the here and now is what Greg as a podcaster is all about.
In this episode of the Working For a Dream Podcast, Patrick and Greg talk about recognizing the power of your midlife years, where Greg’s career has taken him, and what comes next.

“The middle is the sweet spot. It's not the end. It's not a crisis. It's not either. It's the sweet spot. This is when life should be getting better. This is when my foot’s on the gas, right now.”
