Welcome to A Voice and Beyond. It's Marissa Lee, your host here, and I'm so grateful to have you

joining me here today. So I want to start by asking you, what happens when a man wakes up one day and realizes the life

he's been living no longer feels like his own? Not because he failed, but because somewhere

along the way, he drifted. Today's guest says something incredibly powerful.

Most men don't fail, they drift, and for many people, midlife becomes the moment where they

finally stop and ask, who am I? What happened to the dreams I once had?

And is it too late to change? In this deeply honest and inspiring episode, I'm joined by Brian

Dixon, known professionally as Dixon. He is an adventurer, a speaker,

and author of Hold My Beer. I'm going back in the game. Dixon turned a life-threatening

wake-up call into a complete realignment of his life.

After years of quiet misalignment, burnout and emotional disconnection,

Dixon made a radical decision at 52 years old.

He trained for two years and launched a paraglider solo off Lookout Mountain in Colorado,

not just as an adventure, but as a declaration that he was reclaiming his voice, his identity and his life.

Together we explore why so many men feel lost in midlife,

the hidden emotional cost of drifting through life,

why men lose their voice without realizing it?

The power of challenge, courage and reinvention.

And what happens when someone finally chooses alignment over performance?

This conversation is far more than midlife.

It's about authenticity, purpose, courage and the decision to truly start living before it's too

late.
