If you’ve ever felt like you’ve missed your moment, this conversation with writer and journalist Henry Oliver is a must-listen. Known for his cultural analysis and thoughtful perspectives, Oliver dives deep into the idea that success and growth aren’t reserved solely for the young. In his book Second Act, he champions the concept of late blooming, emphasizing that thriving in the second half of life is not only possible—it’s a journey filled with reinvention and resilience.

In this episode, Oliver breaks down the myths surrounding age and success, shedding light on how persistence, openness, and exploration can lead to profound changes. He challenges the “tyranny of averages” by reminding us that everyone’s path is unique, and that growth can happen at any stage. From redefining what success looks like to taking small yet powerful steps toward new goals, his insights serve as a beacon of hope for anyone feeling overwhelmed by societal pressures or personal setbacks.

Oliver’s wisdom is a refreshing reminder that life is a marathon, not a sprint. Whether you’re navigating a career shift, exploring new passions, or simply seeking a fresh perspective on aging, this episode offers both a reality check and a source of encouragement. Let go of the constraints of timelines and keep pushing forward—because it’s never too late to reinvent yourself and flourish.
