This message is brought to you by the KoloGarde test. Cologard is a one-of-a-kind way to feel more in control of your colon cancer screening through a use-at-home test, with none of the prep that's required of a colonoscopy. So if you're 45 or older and at average risk, ask your health care provider about screening for colon cancer with the KoloGard test. You can also request a Colagard prescription today at

colagard.com slash podcast. Do not use Cologard if you have had adenomas, have inflammatory

bowel disease and certain hereditary syndromes, or a personal or family history of colorectal cancer.

False positive and negative results may occur. Any positive result should be followed by a

colonoscopy, not a replacement for colonoscopy in high-risk

patients. The Colagard test is available by prescription only. Hi, I'm Rush Missijani, founder of

Join me on my so-called midlife, my new podcast with Lemonada Media, where we're building a playbook

for navigating midlife, one episode at a time. Each week, I'll chat with extraordinary guests

who've transformed their midlife crisis into opportunities for growth and newfound purpose.

At some point, we all ask ourselves,

is there immortal life?

I'm here to discover how to thrive in my second act,

right alongside you.

My so-called midlife is out now,

wherever you get your podcast.

This week on the sugar.

We must truly work right now to hang on to a sense of what's possible beyond the politics and so

one and so forth that we are surrounded by. Because if you give up a sense of what's possible,

you will be owned by the surviving self and all of its tactics.
