We’re living in a moment where the ground is shifting under all of us. You’re not who you used to be, but you’re not yet who you’re becoming. And the world you grew up prepared for is not the world you’re living in today.
In this episode of The Shattered Mindset Podcast, Melvin Larry dives deep into the new middle — the space between who you were and who you're becoming.
This is the reality for millions of people today: careers shifting, identity evolving, AI shaking up industries, and a world that keeps moving faster than the instruction manual we were handed. Whether you’re in your 40s, 50s, 60s, or navigating a major life transition, the middle can feel uncertain, challenging, and even confusing.
But it can also be the most transformational place you’ll ever stand.
Inside this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why the “middle” season of life is more important than ever
- How AI is reshaping identity, work, and opportunity
- Why the gig, creator, and reinvention economies are changing everything
- How to rethink risk, stability, and purpose in a new era
- The truth about career reinvention in your mid-life years
- Why mindset, not industry, determines success
- Seven practical steps to navigate the middle with clarity
- A challenge to ground your next chapter in purpose
If you’ve been feeling stretched, pulled, uncertain, or in transition… this episode speaks directly to where you are.
