Hey, hello and welcome to episode 374 of the official established the run.com podcast.

My name is Adam Levittan.

I am one of the co-founders here at ETR.

We are entering a hashtag team smell the roses kind of off season slash summer.

Yes, that's right.

I am turning 40, 40 years old in September.

And if I wasn't going through a full blown midlife crisis aka mLC for the last five to seven years while buddy.

Let me tell you, I am definitely in one right now.

I think it's just the reality, right?

Like if the range of good years in terms of health like the ends on average around 70.

I mean, that means I've already been on this earth for more good years that I'll have going forward.

And if I only have 30 good years left, really in the best case scenario, well then shipment.

I mean, I can't really afford to say no to anything.

I just don't have enough time left.

Yeah, it's important to me to be financially secure for the rest of my life and everything.

But I've always had the attitude that I'm trying to die with zero, actively trying to die with zero dollars to my name.

And when you're seven, you're not really doing any cool or expensive things, definitely not when you're 80 or 90 if you make it that far.

So the time to spend and spend money is when you can actually enjoy it, aka now.

So, you know, what is a full blown MLC mean?

I mean, to me, it's just like desperately, desperately trying to have uniquely cool experiences every day or every week as much as I possibly can.

You know, going to try to do beer stand, you know, hike the 14 foot peak in July, hopefully with Leoni and draft sheet.

You know, I had a tight schedule a few weeks ago, but my buddy was having his 40th birthday party in Key West.
