We’ll discuss (and have the odd rant about) all the pressures of being a man, approaching (sorry, we have to say it) middle age. All the fears we have but are often too embarrassed to discuss with our friends. And even the fact that you no longer seem to have “friends” just colleagues and other dads that you nod to at school and club drop-offs. But we’ll also look at the science and psychology behind why we often feel how we feel, why even the most successful people (from business to sport to entertainment) can experience doubt and lack of direction and how small changes in your life, can achieve big results (whether you want to change career, drop a few pounds or just try and get some “you time” back in your life). We aren’t unique, and we want to share. So make sure you subscribe to listen to the second season of our podcast, which goes live about 3x a month!
Thanks, Dave & Volker

In this episode of "Man Up / Man Down," we sit down with Ken Valledy, a seasoned entrepreneur and keynote speaker, to explore the journey from corporate life to entrepreneurship. Ken shares his personal story of leaving a successful marketing career to co-found Progressive Acceleration, a company that bridges the gap between startups and major corporations.
Now, as an advocate for midlife professionals, Ken offers insights into making the "great escape" from the corporate train and embracing new opportunities.
Key Takeaways:
Ken's career journey in three chapters: corporate life, entrepreneurship, and helping others. The concept of the "corporate train" and how to step off it. The importance of side hustles and how they can lead to fulfilling careers. Networking and building connections in a hybrid work environment. The impact of COVID-19 on career choices and work-life balance.
