Ever feel like you're crushing it in one part of your life… but totally lost in another?

Maybe your career’s on point, but your health is falling apart. Or your workouts are solid, but your relationships feel flat. Or maybe you’ve hit 50, and suddenly you’re wondering, “What’s my purpose now?”

This episode is your guide to getting clear.

I sat down with Bernie Borges—67 years young, healthy, thriving, and straight-up radiating wisdom—to break down the five pillars every man needs to focus on to build a life of true fulfillment.

Bernie’s not just talking theory—he’s lived it. Husband, father, podcaster, business leader, and founder of Thrive Media, he’s stacked up decades of wins, failures, pivots, and aha moments. And he’s now on a mission to help men like you find clarity and purpose at every stage of life.

This convo hit hard. Real talk about loneliness, the power of male friendships, how to know if you’re actually fulfilled or just coasting, and how to make changes that last.

This one’s a mindset shift. Don’t miss it.
