Episode 50: Midlife Wisdom School with Jeff Hamaoui
Join us for Episode 50 of the Global Shift Podcast, where we explore the transformative journey of midlife with Jeff Hamaoui, a visionary social entrepreneur who dared to step off the wheel of burnout and redefine aging as a period of growth and purpose.
Jeff and his wife found themselves on the brink of burnout despite successful careers in sustainability consulting. At forty-seven, Jeff realized they were at the nadir of the happiness curve and sought a change. Their journey led them to the inaugural program of the Modern Elder Academy (MEA) in Mexico, where Jeff envisioned a regenerative farm community, a dream that has now become a reality.
Today, Jeff leads a pioneering project in regenerative living, farming, and learning, with MEA at its core. Through soil regeneration, soulful education at MEA, community integration, and fostering local culture, Jeff and his team are reshaping the landscape of aging and sustainability.
What began as a personal quest has blossomed into a global movement, attracting renowned sustainability leaders like Dr. Mark Hyman. Together, they're forging a new model of intergenerational, cross-mentoring community rooted in local culture and customs.
Join us as Jeff shares his insights on regenerative living and aging, offering a compelling vision of growth and fulfillment in the second half of life. Tune in to discover how aging can be a time to cultivate purpose and community, turning the soil of life into a fertile ground for transformation and renewal.
