In this milestone 50th episode of Married to the Startup, Alicia and George McKenzie reflect on their podcast journey — from chewed cables to choppy audio — and celebrate how far they’ve come. Sponsored by Relive Health Gaithersburg, the duo dives into midlife motivation, hormone health, and the rise of personalized wellness, sharing candid experiences with peptides, functional medicine, and navigating health in their late 30s and 40s.
The conversation naturally expands into the evolving intersection of wellness and entrepreneurship:
- Midlife Energy + Founders in Their 40s: Why starting a company in midlife hits differently — and what it takes to stay optimized physically and mentally.
- Biohacking and Longevity: Peptides, hormone balance, and how testing (not guessing) changed their health and family wellness routines.
- AI and Vibe Coding: Alicia and George unpack how AI tools are changing how we build — from vibe-based coding to becoming modern-day “prompt engineers.”
- The Art of Real Conversation: From networking to authenticity, Alicia reflects on why small talk matters more than scripted AI prep.
- Private Equity & Founders: George breaks down what really happens when founders clash with private equity — and why not every growth path is worth taking.
To mark episode 50, they’re hosting a wellness giveaway featuring their favorite products. Tune in, leave a review, and join the Married to the Startup community as Alicia and George gear up for the next 50.
