Bernie Borges Host Midlife Fulfilled Podcast

I started podcasting in 2013. My most recent podcast is the Midlife Fulfilled weekly podcast which launched in February 2022.

I was frustrated by a lack of fulfillment, despite good Health, a successful career, good fitness, a healthy Marriage, and overall happiness. Despite these blessings, I was lacking fulfillment.

I conducted a survey and discovered I wasn’t alone on the journey to find more fulfillment. As an experienced podcaster, I knew I could provide a platform to help men and women in Midlife find more fulfillment and joy through a weekly podcast.

My 30+ year career is in B2B marketing. I apply my marketing experience by spreading the word to reach as many people over 40 as possible to empower them to thrive across the five pillars:

Health | Fitness | Career | Relationships | Legacy

A Self-Leadership Map for Midlife Fulfillment Let’s talk about a common question in the minds of people at a very specific crossroads in life: “Is this all there is…or do I just need something to change?” This question is not always voiced out loud. It doesn’t always look dramatic. It may not be these exact words.

This feeling— and yes, it is a feeling — doesn’t come with a specific age. It doesn’t w…

The term midlife crisis often conjures up images of sports cars, career upheaval, a bulging midsection, or existential dread—but what if we’ve been looking at it all wrong?

And Why a New Leadership Framework is Needed As my passion for leadership development intensifies, I continue to explore the reasons why employee engagement is at an all time low — 23% globally and 30% in the U.S. As we progress through our midlife seasons, we either become leaders or work for leaders who often don’t inspire us.  According to Gallup, only one in ten individuals are capable of becoming effective leaders. Why is that?  For decades, companies have heavily invested in leadership development, aiming to improve employee engagement, productivity, and retention. The global leade…
