Midlife Male by Greg Scheinman

David Lazarus is the Sr. VP at Trillium Trading. He’s based in Miami, married, father of 3 and a 4 time D10 Decathlon Men’s over 40 Champion. He’s a perennial member of the 10k club for those raising over 10k each year for pediatric cancer research. We connected thru our mutual appreciation and commitment to health, fitness, family, business and philanthropy. We had a chance to talk about each of these topics, balance, motivation, inspiration and keeping things in perspective and how recovery and nutrition play a huge role in performance as we get deeper into our 40’s. I wanted to learn more about his training regimen, when he trains, how he trains, eats, sleeps and how he finds the time to train and balance his career and family. Really energizing and inspiring conversation that any guy looking for some extra motivation will get something out of - Enjoy David Lazarus on this week’s episode of The Midlife Male Podcast

here is no person that has been as effective an influence in my life over the past year than Chris Bernal. For years I resisted the notion of therapy or life coaching as from the outside looking in at least; things seemed to be going “pretty well”. My perception was that something had to be “wrong” in order to seek help or improvement. And maybe “wrong” isn’t the “right” term but certainly there were many areas I could use some help and improvement and thru a trusted friend Chris and I were connected and began working together. Chris is the President of Effective Systems Consulting - he has worked with CEO’s and executives across the country looking to maximize performance thru the application of behavioral science. This is an episode I’m very proud of as you get a glimpse into the unique and special gifts that Chris has and that have benefitted me greatly in our work together.

Doctor, Lawyer, Police Officer, Pilot, Husband, Father…Dr. Aashish Shah is all of these. We spoke about the path he took thru education to achieve the career he was seeking and how along the way his priorities have changed and how marriage and fatherhood entering the picture have played a role in seeking greater balance in work and in life. A strong connection and desire to serve led him to pursue law enforcement as military service was no longer an option and becoming a Harris County Sheriff became a reality. A firm believer that “Clothes make the man” we got to chat about fashion, style and materialism in general and as to what place it exists in our current and future lives as seeking out experiences over things takes on greater importance.

Darren Sloniger is a real estate entrepreneur and philanthropist. He is The President of Marquette Companies and has over 25 years of real estate experience and executed over $1 Billion in acquisitions and development projects. We sat down in his latest development, The Catalyst in Houston and talked about his passion for development and business along with his commitment to spirituality, the development of community and helping people on a local, national and global level. We delved into an inspiring and vulnerable conversation on family, adoption, marriage and how money can affect life both positively and negatively. I found his candor refreshing, his demeanor encouraging and his taste in music much like my own (think alt rock – The National). This is a guy who seems calm and confident while simultaneously juggling numerous high profile projects. Living a life that’s inspired (it’s on the wall at The Catalyst) and purposeful and always includes a daily glass of wine with his wife at the end of the day, here’s an inside look at entrepreneur and risk taker Darren Sloniger.

James Ighedigbo is all about putting in the work. After a standout High School football career he had no scholarship offers so he took a preferred walk on role at UMass. Within a year he was on a full ride. After a stellar college career no NFL teams came calling despite being told he’d be taken in the 5th or 6th round...Here we go again he thought. He persevered and not only worked his way into the NFL but played 10 seasons for several teams including the Jets, Bills, Patriots and winning a super bowl with the Ravens. He recently retired from the game and we sat down to talk about the transition from athlete to entrepreneur and what it’s like at just age 34 to have your athletic career behind you and so much life left in front of you. The value of education, spirituality and family in his life that guides him. The missteps he made as a Young man/athlete and what he learned and how he’s approaching this next phase of his life.
