Empower Over 50

Empower Over 50


Honest, grounded conversations about life after 50. Hosted by Max Farnon, this podcast is for anyone navigating job loss, career reinvention, identity shifts, financial uncertainty, or the quiet that follows a long career.


Max lost his job at 56 and began documenting what starting over actually felt like — not the polished version, but the raw, uncomfortable, deeply human reality. What grew from that honesty became Empower Over 50: a growing community built on real talk, genuine connection, and the understanding that you are not alone in this.


Each episode is an audio deep dive into the previous day's video from the Empower Over 50 YouTube channel. Watch the original videos at youtube.com/@empowerover50, then take the deeper conversation with you wherever you go. Topics include job searching after 50, dealing with ageism, rebuilding confidence, managing finances through a career transition, relationships, and finding purpose in the second half of life.


No motivational speeches. No frameworks. No hustle culture. Just honest conversation about what it actually takes to start over.


New episodes every Tuesday and Friday at 5:30am ET.
