[00:00:00] Life's complex, isn't it? One moment, everything's working well, and the next? You find yourself a decade older, feeling stuck or stale, wondering what comes next.

Change is necessary, but the path forward isn't clear.

How do you make space to navigate life's inevitable resets and live an intentional life?

[00:00:20] I'm Daniel Sih, your host, joined by my good friend and fellow spacemaker, Matt Bain. We bring you The Spacemakers, a podcast to help you shift the way you live and work. More than a podcast, this pod-course will take you on a carefully curated journey around a simple but profound idea, that the habits and practices that fuel success in our twenties and thirties are the very barriers that hinder maturity in our forties and fifties.

[00:00:48] The Spacemakers. What we're going to do is look at the three life stages everyone goes through. Not everyone is going to go through them well. Over 10 concise episodes, we'll explore the science of unlearning [00:01:00] and help you navigate some of life's most challenging resets, particularly the shift from the energetic 20s and 30s to the to the reflective 40s and 50s.

[00:01:09] Jerry Seinfeld, in his commencement address, he pretty much says, you guys, because you're not really like in your 20s, he says, you know nothing. During these phases of life, everything seems to change. From managing our time and career, to handling finances, maintaining health, nurturing friendships, and cultivating the inner life.

[00:01:29] There are so many questions worth exploring. How does the happiness curve affect our Season of life? When is following your passions good advice and when is it misguided? Why should we say yes in our 20s and no in our 40s? How do we adapt from fluid intelligence to consolidated intelligence? When does saving and accumulating wealth become counterproductive?

[00:01:50] Why is it harder to invest in friendships as we age and should we really live every day as if it's our last? Change is hard but it [00:02:00] doesn't have to be complicated. Like everything at Spacemakers, we'll share research, authentic stories, and step by step instructions to help you carve out a better life, with a bit of silence to help you reflect along the way.
