In this final episode of Season 2, we explore the role of spirituality in the mid-life squeeze. While the first half of life often focuses on the outward journey, the second turns inward, shifting from certainty to a more generous unknowing. Join us as we delve into the three stages of faith and uncover how questioning our beliefs can pave the way for a richer inner life. Matt Bain and Daniel Sih wrap up the season with reflections on key lessons learned and a preview of what's to come.Resources: GET A FREE SUMMARY OF SEASON 2 with print-ready activitiesPRODUCTIVITY MASTERCLASSDiscover more:SPACEMAKERS WEBSITEYOUTUBERAISING TECH HEALTHY HUMANSThis season is made possible with support from our sponsors: Bulk NutrientsThis podcast is recorded and produced by Production Farm StudiosMentioned in this episode: Spacemakers Priority Samurai eLearningNeed space to achieve your priorities?

The Mid-Life Money Reset (Season 2 Eps 9)
Money shapes more than just our finances—it impacts our decisions in each stage of life. In this episode of The Spacemakers, Daniel Sih and Matt Bain explore the “mid-life money reset,” inspired by The Ant and the Grasshopper.” When is delayed gratification wise, and when does it hold us back? When should we shift from saving to ‘dissaving’? And how do we balance preparing for tomorrow with living fully today? Join us for insights into money, meaning, and mindset in mid-life.The financial information in this podcast is general information only. It should not be taken as professional financial advice.

How To Reset Your Career | Part 2 (Season 2 Eps 8)
One common piece of career advice is to “follow your heart”—that is, pursue what you love and chase your passions. While this may be great advice at 40, it can be downright misleading at 20, as what works in one season of life may not apply in the next. In this episode, Daniel Sih and Matt Bain continue their exploration of career resets as the years go by. We’ll discuss the importance of building career capital through deliberate practice and the value of “actively doing nothing” to uncover your life’s meaning.Resources: GET A FREE SUMMARY OF SEASON 2 with print-ready activitiesLIFEPLANSTRENGTHSKAIROS MOMENTS VIDEODiscover more:SPACEMAKERS WEBSITEYOUTUBERAISING TECH HEALTHY HUMANSThis season is made possible with support from our sponsors: Banjo's Bakery CafesThis podcast is recorded and produced by Production Farm StudiosMentioned in this episode:Banjo’s Bakery Café’s - FRANCHISEES 1A warm thanks to our sponsor, Banjo’s Bakery Café’s, who are expanding across Australia and looking for new franchisee’s!

How To Reset Your Career | Part 1 (Season 2 Eps 7)
You are never too old to change your career. The average Australian changes jobs 13 times in their lifetime, with many taking up study or starting businesses in their 40s. While career resets are challenging at any age, they are particularly so in mid-life. In this episode, Daniel Sih and Matt Bain explore why we need habits of “set and reset” to navigate a career transition. We also hear from Gustav Lammerding from Banjo’s Bakery Cafe’s about his experiences in helping migrants start their own businesses.
