This week, we're joined by the brilliant Dr. Eliza Filby - historian, writer, speaker, and one of the UK’s leading voices on generations and how they’re reshaping work, family, identity, and society itself. Eliza’s work explores how the beliefs and behaviours of different age groups are evolving in today’s rapidly changing world - from the Bank of Mum and Dad to the shifting sands of career, purpose, and legacy in midlife. We dive into what makes this midlife moment so unique, how to bridge the generational divide, and why understanding your time and context can be a superpower. It’s insightful, thought-provoking, and packed with gold for anyone navigating the complexities of modern midlife.

Are Gen X-ers Really Over & Out Or Are We Just Getting Started? Interview With Journalist Stephen Armstrong 43:45

منذ 19 يومًا43:45

43:45

In this episode, we’re joined by the insightful journalist and author, Stephen Armstrong, for a candid conversation about Generation X - those of us sandwiched between the Baby Boomers and Millennials. Having seen Stephen’s article 50 And Out in The Independent, where he talked about the future of Gen X, we just knew we had to get him onto our podcast to dig deeper. Stephen reveals the unique struggles Gen X men face as they hit midlife, from career crossroads to dealing with the weight of unspoken expectations. We reminisce about the freedom and world of possibility that followed the end of the cold war, backpacking, music and of course, we can't talk about Gen X without touching on the island that defined a generation and inspired one of Stephen’s books - Ibiza. Tune in for an eye-opening, fun chat about where we are now, and what it means to be a Gen X-er in 2025.

Double Standards Between Men & Women At Midlife? 21:03

منذ 25 يومًا21:03

21:03

In this episode, we’re diving into something that doesn’t get talked about enough - the double standards at midlife for men and women - in the press and in society as a whole. Increasingly, and brilliantly - midlife women are being encouraged to see this stage of their life as empowering and liberating - a positive midlife crisis - as they question their marriages, sexuality and what’s next for them. However, for men, this stage of life is often mocked. They’re labelled as grumpy, broken, or just going through a cliché. We’ve seen this first-hand. James has faced resistance from female journalists unwilling to even entertain the idea of male midlife struggles — writing it off as “just another moan from a middle-aged man.” But here’s the truth: both men and women deserve space to evolve, reflect, and grow in this season of life — without shame or judgment. So today, we’re calling out the bias, sharing our personal experiences, and exploring how we can rewrite the narrative — together. Let’s get into it.

Male Hair Loss: Interview With Bav Majithia 32:40

منذ 5 weeks32:40

32:40

In this episode we’re shining a light on a topic that quietly affects almost one in two men by the age of fifty: hair loss. Now - losing your hair might sound purely cosmetic, but it can gnaw at confidence, self-image and even mental health. So what happens when you decide to take action— publicly ? My guest knows a thing or two about living in the spotlight. You may have seen him masterminding the business behind those signature super-car wraps at Yannimize. Today, Bav parks the Lamborghinis and opens up about something far more personal: his recent hair-transplant journey . In this episode Bav gets brutally honest about the mirror moment when he said “enough,” the deep-dive research, the process, and why he’s documented every step so other guys don’t have to suffer in silence. We’ll dig into costs, recovery, expectations, and the surprising mental-health lift that no styling product can match. Whether you’re weighing a procedure yourself, supporting a partner, or just curious, this is worth a listen - there’s a little car chat too!

Boosting Testosterone Naturally: James' 6 Pillars For Strength, Energy & Focus 20:53

منذ 8 weeks20:53

20:53

Today we’re talking hormones, strength, and sustainable energy for midlife guys - with James. Six months ago James' bloodwork flagged borderline-low testosterone. He felt it too - sluggish mornings, stubborn belly-fat, zero motivation in the gym. Rather than jump straight to injections, he decided to run a personal experiment. Fast-forward to his latest lab results: his total T is up by almost 50 percent. So in this short episode James breaks down the exact six-pillar protocol that moved the needle: dialling-in sleep, lifting heavy, fuelling with the right fats and micros, trimming body-fat, taming stress, and clearing out everyday hormone disruptors. Each pillar comes with one action you can start today —no matter your schedule or budget. Quick caveat before we dive in: James is not a doctor, and this podcast is not medical advice. It’s based on his personal experience. Ready to turn the dial up on strength, focus, and drive? Grab your coffee—or maybe a glass of water—hit that ‘Do Not Disturb’ button, and let’s get into it!” If you’d like to join James' transformational in-person workshop for midlife men in central London in May where he’ll be covering this (plus a lot more) check out: jamespdavis.com/jumpsstart The Midlife Male Handbook available now: Amazon Waterstones WH Smith Please remember, if you find the show helpful or it makes you laugh, motivates and inspires you - please do like, share and rate us.

On today’s episode we’re tackling the big one: stepping out of that oh‑so‑snug comfort zone so we can finally stretch, grow, and live a little larger and longer. If you’ve ever felt that quiet itch - a ‘there’s‑got‑to‑be‑more’ whisper - stick around. We unpack the science of discomfort, share a couple of our own spectacular stumbles, and give you practical moves to trade safe and small for bold and brilliant. So, grab your coffee, lace up those metaphorical boots, and let’s get uncomfortable - because that’s exactly where the magic happens. Ready? Let’s dive in.

Regaining Confidence At Midlife 31:11

Our confidence can really take a dip at midlife for various reasons. Maybe it’s the loss of a relationship. A redundancy. Perhaps it’s a health issue, injury or even the change in your appearance. It’s important to acknowledge that it can be a challenging time, but equally important to note that with a few small changes, we can rebuild confidence in a fresh and new way that aligns with this stage of life. So in this episode we dive into what that looks like physically and mentally, offering up insights and tips that will help you feel empowered, inspired and hopeful. As they say, confidence is an inside job, not defined by age. So here’s your permission to step boldly into the world, and live a life on your terms!

The Extinction Of Experience: Interview with Author Christine Rosen 45:43

منذ 18 weeks45:43

45:43

Something we’ve talked about a lot on The Midlife Mentors podcast is the impact of social media and the digital world we live in, in particular on our relationships. In this episode we dive deeper as we’re joined by Christine Rosen, senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and author of the thought-provoking book The Extinction of Experience . In a world increasingly dominated by digital technology, many of us have become disconnected from direct, meaningful encounters with the natural environment and with each other. Christine’s work delves into how and why this shift has happened—and the profound consequences it may have for our well-being, our culture, and even our understanding of ourselves. During our conversation, we explore the roots of this “extinction of experience,” uncover what it means in practical terms for our day-to-day lives, and consider how we might reclaim a more authentic and engaged way of living. Whether you’re a concerned parent or educator, or simply curious about how modern life shapes our worldview, this discussion promises fresh perspectives and, hopefully, a few solutions to help us reconnect.
