“I think there’s so many folks out there that, that think of aging. In midlife as a point whereby which everything is downhill from here. And I certainly haven’t hit my stride yet. And my future is bright and I want to kick some ass for the next 30, 40, 50 years. And I want to take others along on the ride and hear their stories and how they’re doing it.” – Craig Sweeney
What do you think of when you hear the term “badass”? The leather clad rocker on the Harley? Navy SEALs? Mixed Martial Artists? How about the middle-aged person you see in the mirror every morning? Craig Sweeny, founder of Over 50 Badass, challenges us to unleash our inner badass simply by living the best life we can live and being the person we know we can be.
Craig discusses:

* The high school reunion that was the genesis for Over 50 Badass
* Getting out of the midlife ruts
* How to approach changing jobs or careers in midlife
* Moving past those who don’t want us to change or improve.

Ready to become the badass you were meant to be?
Let’s get started!

But so just looking at life I think, you know, from the perspective of the glass, you know, getting being, you know, not half-full but, but certainly more than half full.
