Reimagining Midlife: Creating Your Next Chapter with Michael Clinton [Encore]

In this encore episode, Terry Yoffe sits down with Michael Clinton, former president and publishing director of Hearst Magazines and author of the bestselling book Roar Into the Second Half of Your Life (Before It's Too Late) . Together they explore what it really means to create meaningful change in midlife and beyond. Michael shares the powerful philosophy behind “life layering,” a concept that encourages people to build multiple passions and identities rather than tying their entire sense of self to one career or role. From running marathons on seven continents to becoming a photographer and author, Michael explains how curiosity, courage, and intentional planning can open new chapters at any age. The conversation explores the ROAR framework for personal reinvention: reimagining the future, owning personal circumstances, creating an action plan, and reassessing relationships. Michael also challenges the culture of ageism and encourages listeners to replace the idea of a midlife crisis with a midlife awakening. For anyone wondering what comes next in their career or life, this episode offers both inspiration and practical tools for moving forward with confidence. Key takeaways include: Why life layering creates a richer and more resilient identity How the ROAR framework helps people reinvent themselves The danger of tying identity to a job or career seat How to rediscover passions from earlier in life Why midlife can be the start of a powerful new chapter Connect with Michael: Website: https://roarbymichaelclinton.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ROARForward/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/roarforwardcom/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/roar-forward/ If this conversation sparks ideas about your own next chapter, reach out and start the conversation with Terry Yoffe today.
