Through stories, tools, and honest conversation, The Wisdom Vault unlocks what really matters.
Don’t Let The Old Man In brings you real and candid conversations about your midlife years with some of the wisest experts in their field.
From taking charge of your health, to strengthening your relationships, and finding ways to reconnect with what lifts your spirit – this series is designed to make sure your second act is even better than the first.
Hosted by Pod O’Sullivan, whose lifelong fascination with transitions fuels each conversation, every episode will help you embrace these years and live a purposeful life (sore hips & all). Welcome.
Dr Amantha Imber has spent two decades telling other people how to work better. In 2024, none of it saved her from burnout. The organisational psychologist behind Inventium and the podcast, How I Work, found herself fantasising about a week in hospital, not because she was sick, just so nobody could reach her.
In this conversation with Pod, Amantha talks honestly about what it took to step back into the CEO chair she’d once handed over, why “just pushing through” quietly stops working long before you notice, and the small, specific habits that got her energy back, from a two-minute splash of cold water to a phrase she calls “yes, but.
At thirty-two, Dr Jessica Turton ended up on the cover of a national magazine with a message most people had never heard: eat more, not less.
In this conversation, she explains why the “eat less, move more” advice most of us grew up with fails so often, what insulin resistance is quietly doing to men in midlife, and how eating more of the right foods, not less of everything, can turn it around.
What does a genuine midlife career change look like when it comes not from crisis, but from a clear-eyed decision to stop trading time for the wrong outcomes? In this episode of Don’t Let The Old Man In, host Pod O’Sullivan sits down with two executive coaches — Allan Tillack and Andy Sheats — who each walked away from the top of significant corporate careers to design lives built around purpose, adventure, and the kind of leadership that actually lights them up.
Their stories speak directly to the men in our audience navigating their own career reinvention at 50, wrestling with questions of identity, executive coaching, and what midlife reinvention really costs — and delivers.
All articles in The Wisdom Vault are organised under our 8 Pillars of Positive Aging, designed to help men navigating midlife transitions with clarity, purpose, and imagination.
