Welcome to “The Middle-Aged Man Podcast” with your host, Marc Ford – where life begins again at 40 and grey hairs are just strands of wisdom trying to escape!

Picture this: Join Marc, your friendly neighbourhood fully-fledged, card-carrying middle-aged maestro, navigating the minefield of midlife. Settle in with him and an eclectic crew of guests from every corner of the globe as they spill the tea (or should we say coffee – middle-aged men’s fuel of choice) on the real, the raw, and the ridiculously relatable. We will dive into the riveting world of middle-aged men’s mental gymnastics, (because who said the midlife crisis can’t have its own theme music? Spoiler alert: it’s probably classic rock!), and if you want some career advice that doesn’t involve vague motivational quotes or LinkedIn clichés? Marc’s got your back. It’s not a midlife crisis; it’s a midlife career refresh! We will talk fitness at 40 and beyond – or as Marc likes to call it, “How to turn the dad bod into a rad bod.” and Style. Oh, we’re talking about that too! Marc’s guests will give you fashion tips that are so sharp; they might cut through the stereotypes about dad jeans and questionable Hawaiian shirts. We’ll even talk about society and culture, so get ready for discussions that are as diverse as Marc’s collection of ’80s vinyl records. We’re talking about everything from tech trends to the best way to disguise a receding hairline.

So, buckle up, because midlife just got a whole lot more interesting. Join Marc Ford and his global gang of middle-aged mavericks as they navigate the maze of adulthood with humour, heart, and the occasional dad joke. Welcome to the cool kids’ table, where the only requirement is a few extra candles on your birthday cake.
