What if the thing you were meant to do was waiting for you all along—but it took a midlife detour to finally see it?
In this episode of Gen X Crisis, Robert reconnects with longtime friend and stand-up comic Robert Field for a funny, honest, and deeply relatable conversation about reinvention in your 50s.
They talk about chasing creative dreams later in life, the odd comfort of driving 17,000 Uber rides, and what stand-up comedy teaches you about energy, presence, and being fully seen. Field shares his journey from corporate America to the comedy stage, his complicated relationship with his father, and how parenting teens forces you to let go of control.
There’s talk of old friends, changing ambitions, parental expectations, and the strange beauty of saying what you really think, especially when the world says you shouldn’t.
