In this episode I am joined by John Merkus, host of the podcast Rise and Thrive Conversations for Greatness. John is one of the authorities on accelerated personal achievement. He is a compelling speaker on a broad range of motivation, performance, health, and productivity subjects. His presentations illustrate the essential concepts behind greater performance, increased productivity, and excitement. Coupled with a flair for entertainment and a natural ability to communicate ideas clearly to his audience, John is impacting and inspiring leaders of organizations and individuals around the globe.
In our conversation, John has succeeded by all popular standards, yet is humble and unassuming. At age 23 John was a director and shareholder of a software firm which grew from small trade into a bonafide Microsoft Solution Provider within five years. In parallel with these activities beating a path of achievement from drummer, singer, songwriter, guitarist up to producer and promoter, he has left no doubt in anyone’s mind as to his desire to participate in life and experience the essence of existence.
John delves into the power of acceptance as a path to a harmonious life, regardless of challenges like menopause, work, or daily routines. He shares insights from a male perspective on supporting a spouse through menopause, highlighting empathy, understanding, and not taking things too personally, as well as the importance of listening, mutual support, and the light-heartedness necessary for navigating menopause in a relationship.
The episode also explores broader societal conversations on women's health and ageing, aiming to foster a supportive community for both men and women experiencing menopause.
