In this episode Clark Vandeventer introduces the Dealing with 40 Project. In short, Clark's had a really hard time dealing with 40.
And he's spent a lot of time processing where he is and how he has not lived up to his own expectations.
He's wanted to talk to people. To go back to old mentors and talk with them. To talk to some of the men and women who knew him when he was 20 years old. And they’re 60 or 80 now. Talk with other people he looks up to who are a little older and a little wiser and talk with them about life.
And ask questions like, "Did you feel this way when you were 40?"
Dealing with 40 is a series of interviews where Clark asks deep questions about life.
From Clark:
This a declaration, a plea, and an invitation.
A declaration to live and to seek my destiny. A declaration to become the very best version of myself and to do great things.
A plea that you would be patient with me, and with others. I have issues and I’m insecure. Please give me grace and know that even if I say something foolish or do something wrong that my heart is in the right place. Remember this of others too. Be kind. I’m guessing that you have your issues too. So please, please, let us affirm one another. I think we all probably spend enough time condemning ourselves.
An invitation to join me on this journey. Lean in with me. Share the lessons that you have learned and the perspective you have gained. Listen to the wisdom shared by the people I interview as a part of this project. Commit to being the best version of yourself.
