We're living in a chaotic world. Possibly in some ways more chaotic than at any other point in the history of the world. So how does a guy find peace when he is surrounded by chaos? Is that even possible?Steve Strother joins the podcast today to help explore the roots of men finding peace in their lives. He shares his own journey, that continues, in his quest for peace, and how he is helping other men find it too.About SteveSteve Strother is a lifelong learner who lives to support the mantra of Finding Men's Peace. He sees both successes and failures as necessary in life and that both offer opportunities for learning and growth. He's had plenty of each in my own life. He has a passion for helping men live better lives in deeper connection with peace, joy, and their own inner strength. Prior to starting Finding Men’s Peace he found traditional success in a 20+ year corporate sales career that was highly demanding of his time and energy but taught him the interpersonal communication skills that he uses in coaching today.He has a Life Coaching Certificate earned through training at the Academy of Coaching Cognition where he learned the specific communication and strategic skills of coaching. Through two marriages that ended in divorce, he learned important lessons that he conveys to clients through coaching.Most importantly, he's learned how important it is for men to be honest emotionally in their relationships as this leads to better and more open communication stemming from the fact that in doing so the man is just as authentically himself in the relationship as his partner. He believes that overall, men are struggling in this world. Struggling to figure out who they really are vs. the macho masculine stereotype. Struggling to maintain and advance in careers where they don’t feel free to express their true creativity. Struggling to find ways to thrive in relationships in this busy world with all of its external demands. He knows that men can conquer these challenges by following their true authentic path to joy, peace, and growth. All it takes is a realization that there is an issue and a desire to find a way to resolve it.

It's time to take a stand against ageism. No more saying, "You're to old!" You're only as old as you buy into the voice in your head. But, you have to believe that too. Breaking the barriers as an artist, Michael Fairman is as a 'Boomer' signer, songwriter, giving the young pop singer crowd a run for their money. His 40 Plus Real Men. Real Talk. story is not only about being a 40+ man, but also about being a 'Boomer' gay man who is going to use his voice to entertain, even when people say, "That's nice," which is code for "Good luck with that boomer, you're to old for the music industry."He's not buying into that thought and he's proving the doubters wrong with his new single, "Other Side." This is his 40 Plus: Real Men. Real Talk. story.About MichaelMichael Fairman grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin where music was always his passion and first love. As a teen, he released his first recordings through a small label in Chicago. Once he graduated high school, he moved to Los Angeles and eventually to New York to pursue his career as a recording artist. He formed a band with some of the top studio musicians in the city, performed in rock, pop, and soul clubs, recorded, and tried to get the A&R reps out to his showcases in order to get signed by a label. Between the financial drain, and the disappointment of not having key people show up to his gigs, Fairman eventually felt burned out and needed a major change. He decided to put music on hold and move back to Los Angeles where he began a career in TV Production and entertainment journalism.Michael Fairman is after what his name implies: a fair chance. He is out now with “Other Side,” his mid-tempo pop/soul track about ageism, personal struggles, and finding ones inner-strength to face adversity and ultimately triumph. He cowrote the track with engineer and producer, Kyle Mangels, in hopes it might inspire those over 35 into action. “For years now, I have been told, ‘You’re doing music? You sing? How nice!’ when what was really meant was ‘Good Luck with that boomer, you’re too old for the music industry,’” he explains. Fairman says he understands that pop radio is targeted to those under 25, skews female, and that there are only a few coveted spots for artists. Many amazing talents – both younger and older - simply don’t get the airplay they deserve. He hopes to be the artist to break that barrier, because the music he performs and writes is similar to that being played on pop radio and in dance clubs right now. “I have a point of view and a unique vibe and sound to share, and I hope listeners will give me a chance.” Michael Fairman’s “Other Side” is being distributed independently and is available on Apple Music, Spotify and all major music digital platforms.Connect WithFacebookTwitterInstagramYouTubeHey Guys, Check This Out!Are you a guy who keeps struggling to do that thing?

You might argue that being over 40 is no different for gay men versus straight men. On the surface that may seem correct. However, straight men don’t have a history of having to deal with lack of acceptance, or missing role models everywhere they look, of what life is like as a heterosexual. In fact, one of the reasons that gay men over 40 struggle to find and be themselves is they've always been labeled as outcasts. In this episode William Smith and I navigate some of the most challenging situations gay men face as we age. About William William Smith has been in the “people” business for many years helping support individuals and families. He is the President of Senior Care Advisers. This informational company gives mid-lifers and above an opportunity to be engaged and explore new concepts and trends in aging. He is the Founder of GayLifeAfter40.com providing useful information for gay me after 40. He works for SmithFin, LLC-A Life Insurance Comparison which operates The Life Insurance Store and LGBT Life Insurance Quote.com particularly focusing on helping people over 40 find the best insurance rates from the nation’s top rated life insurance companies saving them time, money and frustration. He understands that it isn’t always easy to talk to a non- gay professional about your life insurance needs as well as medical history. As we grow older, get married, and possibly build extended families and or start businesses, we come to realize more and more that life insurance is a fundamental part of having a sound financial plan. There is a certain comfort in knowing money will be available to protect your loved ones in the event of your passing. Smith is filling a void in the after 40 gay community by educating LGBT folks about the importance of having Life insurance. Before founding and publishing Gay Life After 40, he successfully launched and developed a referral company for seniors and their families in the Midwest by becoming the sales and marketing resource for health care professionals and senior housing communities. He has worked over 15 years in Human Resources in an executive capacity. In addition, he has been a volunteer Hospice counselor in his locale community. He had been awarded a Certified Senior Advisor designation by the Society of Senior Advisors and awarded the Spirit Award for creating positive driven information on the internet.
