451: Managing Sleep & Anxiety as a Midlife Male and the Sweet Spot Between Hustle and Happiness with Greg Scheinman

Gentlemen, I’ve got Greg Scheinman here with me today. Greg is a performance coach, entrepreneur, keynote speaker, and author of The Midlife Male, a guide to helping men feel happier, healthier and lead rewarding lives in their 40s and 50s. 

We kicked things off by digging into some common ground: Waking up at 3 a.m. with that old and eerily familiar friend… anxiety. We talked about what works for us to get better sleep and some potential triggers that seem to cause those restless and sleepless nights.

We also talked about approaching midlife by looking for those sweet spots between hustling and grinding to being at peace and enjoying life. We dig into how much therapy and inner work is too much and how relationships and development are like muscles that also need to rest. We also shared a few stories about our hiking adventures, testing and knowing your limits, when to push and when to relax, and mixed in some 29029 Everesting chat and a lot more. Enjoy!

A Wide-Ranging Conversation Through…

• Managing the 3am anxiety wake up calls
• Finding the sweet spot between hustling & happiness
• Greg’s routines that have improved his sleep quality

Not able to travel? We got you. Join our next online event, built just for kickass dads who know there’s more to learn. FrontRowDads.com/summit 

FRD is solving a huge problem for dads. Our culture has turned “Dad” into a joke. Go ahead, google Dad and you’ll find Dad Bod, Dad Jokes, Dad Weed, etc. Culturally, it’s a Homer Simpson mentality, and it’s BS.  

Our community is built for solid men. Men with range. Those who are badass, and know there’s still more to learn, together.  

Most guys find it hard to find “their crew.” Finding other committed men, who are successful in life, and want to put family first – these guys are rare. Is this you?

In FRD, hundreds of men from all over the world show up for each other, to share resources and raise the bar of fatherhood (our core values)

If you’re reading this, you want to grow.  Podcasts are great, but guys… when you’re ready to stop just listening to content, and want to JOIN the conversations – the FRD brotherhood is ready for you.
