Not Done Yet! Purpose & Possibility Through Life's Second Half - Dr. Brad Cooper
Are you moving through midlife and feeling a growing vacuum? Whether you are navigating midlife struggles, approaching a retirement transition, or already retired but feeling unsatisfied, you’ve realized that the old script for the second half of life is blank.
Welcome to Not Done Yet! Purpose & Possibility Through Life's Second Half. Hosted by Dr. Brad Cooper—executive, husband, father, and elite masters endurance athlete—this podcast is a dedicated roadmap for high-achievers who refuse to settle for a downward path to the status quo.
Society tells us that life after 50, 60, and 70 is a time to slow down, but we believe those in their second act represent the world’s greatest untapped natural resource. We don’t just talk about retirement life; we explore "pretirement," healthspan, and how to trade a passive existence for a life of vibrant meaning.
Each week, we dive into:
- Purpose & Midlife Reinvention: Rediscovering a brand-new "why" in your 50s and 60s.
- The Second Mountain: Moving beyond career success to deep personal significance.
- Longevity & Vitality: Evidence-based practices for high-performance aging and maintaining an upward-aiming mindset.
- Pro-Aging Mindsets: Slashing through the "shoulds" to pursue a life of possibility.
Drawing from timeless wisdom and the latest behavioral science, Dr. Cooper helps you distinguish the "still, small voice" of true calling from the noise of the world.
If you’re ready to trade "passively ever after" for a forward-oriented call to adventure, you’re in the right place. Hit Follow and join a community of world-changers who know beyond a shadow of a doubt:
We are… not… done… yet!

Are you moving through midlife and feeling a growing vacuum? If you are navigating a midlife transition, considering retirement, or searching for meaning after 50, you’ve likely realized that the old "pre-defined script" no longer fits. Whether you call it a second act, the second half of life, or your "second mountain," this phase of life is a call to adventure—not a slow fade into the background.
In this introductory "Manifesto" (or roadmap) episode, Dr. Brad Cooper lays out the vision for the Not Done Yet! podcast. We move beyond the status quo of "filling the days" and explore how to rediscover a brand-new why at age 60 and beyond.
What we’ll explore in this episode:
- The Post-Career Vacuum: Why "busy-work" isn't the same as vibrant meaning.
- Pretirement vs. Retirement: How to pivot from a life of "shoulds" to a life of purpose and possibility.
- The Second Half Strategy: Why those over 50 are the world’s greatest untapped resource for positive change.
- Upward Aiming: How to maintain a forward-oriented mindset when society tells you to slow down.
Many prefer to live "passively ever after," but if you are ready to rise above mediocrity and inhabit your life fully, this is your tribe. Join us as we trade the downward path for an upward call to adventure.
Because the evidence is clear: We are… not… done… yet!
