How to Rewire Your Mindset for Peak Performance After 50 — that’s the theme of today’s episode with author, coach, and speaker John Geraghty. In this powerful conversation, we break down the mental traps that keep high-achievers stuck and how to flip your perspective to live with purpose, energy, and joy—especially in the second half of life.

John shares his story of transformation—from blackout drinking and low self-worth to becoming an elite performance coach who trains business owners and leaders to redefine success. He walks us through his “Prism of Perspective” model and how beliefs, energy, and presence shape your ability to thrive.

We talk about:

  • Building identity beyond burnout and ego
  • Creating a fitness practice that gets better with age
  • The myths of aging and why most people quit too early
  • Using visualization, gratitude, and purpose to rewire your default state

This episode is a must-listen if you’re in midlife and asking, “What’s next?” It’s never too late to create momentum. John proves that peak performance isn’t just for the young—it’s for the conscious.

How to Rewire Your Mindset for Peak Performance After 50 is your reminder: You can still win. You just have to choose.
