The Middle Aged Man Podcast
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: Marc, your friendly neighbourhood fully-fledged, card-carrying middle-aged maestro, navigating the minefield of midlife. Join 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.

Welcome to the middle-aged man podcast!
The only over 40 men’s podcast that tackles Business, Lifestyle, Growth, Relationships, Health, and all the stuff to help us become the better modern middle-aged men we were meant to be, as well as the essential questions such as “C’mon really…what’s the difference between men’s razors and lady razors?”
On today's show, we talk about the phase of life where we've mastered the art of dad jokes but we might be feeling a bit stuck in the grayscale of routine.
So now is the time to trade monotony for a burst of colour and rediscover the vibrancy that made us and life truly extraordinary.
I'm not a wizard, but as your friendly middle-aged companion, I'm here to give you the guide you on this particular journey.

Welcome to the middle-aged man podcast!
The only over 40’s men’s podcast tackles Business, Lifestyle, Growth, Relationships, Health, and Becoming Better Men and questions as important as “When it comes to toilet paper, do you set the flap over or under?”
On today's show we have a special guest…. John Petrelli has been a professional fitness coach for over 30 years, having worked alongside some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry, from Grammy-Award-winning recording artists to A-list Hollywood actors. Not bad when you consider at eighteen John seemed bound for Jail or the morgue.
In 2021, John's life took an unexpected turn when he became paralyzed with Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS), a rare autoimmune disease that landed him in the ICU.
With a heavily dependent lifestyle on physical health and well-being, John needed to rely on his mental strength to overcome this disease. Through this experience, the book "Confessions of a Hollywood Trainer" was born. An instant Amazon #1 New release.
John has dedicated his new lease on life to helping others find their inner strength to overcome the obstacles they are facing.
So gentlemen, please allow me to introduce fellow middle-aged chap and a half, John Petrelli…

On today's Middle Aged Man Podcast, we have a guest, gentlemen…and she’s been a long time coming…hopefully just like you.
Yes, I’m going to get the gags out the way now, we might be middle-aged, but dam it’s good to be childish sometimes…it’s taken me weeks to get our guest on the show…she kept me waiting for ages…and it was great!
And if you don’t want to know about the fantastic benefits of tantric to your life and your sex life, well my friend you can come later…
Today’s guest is here to tell us, middle-aged fellas, that Tantra is not just about shagging, hands-on sexual servicing, a dating hook-up, a swinging lifestyle, a place for f**k buddies or a religion; but she is here to show us how empowering and freeing it is, a journey to self-love and actualisation in relationships and business and an orgasmic way to manifest wealth….
…she's worked with the people from Playboy, Amber Rose’s Slutwalk…yes that’s an actual thing and The Strategist…a registered nurse, trauma-informed master coach and a certified Tantra healer…all the way from the other side of the Atlantic…and all I can say is…she’s been worth waiting for…I give you Dominique D’Vita…..

Welcome to The Middle-Aged Man Podcast; the only over 40's men's podcast that knows "10 Minutes of affirmations a day won't make you a millionaire" and "having diet coke will not get rid of that 3stone extra you're carrying around".
In this episode, Marc looks at the 8 possible habits that are wrecking your life and holding you back from success and happiness.
Now, before you click off this podcast because you think I might be full of it, and this is just another clichéd, self-centred, sanctimonious sermon, I’m here to tell you my friend, I’ve been in the shitter. And his life still isn’t perfect, but he's made much progress.
So hang tight, relax and give him just a few minutes of your time.

⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ What we will be talking about may well be very uncomfortable for some guys listening, but I thought for many men, it is a subject that has been long buried inside of them or that some men know someone that’s been through a similar ordeal and don’t fully understand why that person reacts or acts a certain way.
Today’s guest was told she was a failure as a child, the girl going nowhere & had a juvenile delinquent badge slapped on her when she was 13 by her psychiatrist.
Being labelled at an early age came with difficulties, leading to most people believing she would be dead or in prison by the time she was 20 – although for many the resultant mental trauma from child sex abuse is prison enough.
Our guest has organically become a Child Sex Abuse Activist, Speaker, Presenter, and Author on this subject.
Her debut book, Don’t Hold Back is a motivational self-help book, published in 2018.
Its purpose is to encourage readers to find their voice, give thought, and help them to process the difficulties of child sex abuse, rejection & abandonment – the book is based on her personal and difficult story.
Don’t Hold Back highlights how she changed her life to become the successful person she is today.
Her charity, Project 90/10 is a powerful mission and vehicle for influential attitude and action change through education and awareness campaigns in the area of child sexual abuse.
Today’s guest on The Middle-Aged Man Podcast is Emma-Jane Taylor…

Welcome to the middle-aged man podcast!
The only men's podcast that tries hard not to say “back in my day…” or “why can’t I get the TV to do what I want it to, and yet we still want to be the best we can be.
Today's guest is a man that has the dedication to live his truth and the fullness of who is and what he is. But that's not been a straightforward journey. Like many, he got lost looking for an improved version of himself, out there in the world, in places it could never be found. In the career, the accolades, possessions, parties, etc…
As he studied psychology he 'stumbled' into teaching adults in organisations about their thoughts, emotions and interactions. What served them and their truth and what didn't? This set a path for him and as he shared his work, it became the perfect mirror to look at himself. He learned the long way around to find out who he really is…and today he’s here to share his insights into being the best version of you, you can be…
Gentlemen, today’s guest on the Middle-Aged Man Podcast is Mr Glenn Bracey….
On this podcast we talk about:
"Who the hell am I?"
Marc puts himself through two exercises...
Two Versions of Yourself...
Self Sabotage...
