About Against the Fade

Against the Fade — For Men Who Refuse to Fade in Midlife. Something is happening to men in midlife that nobody talks about. Your body is changing. Your friendships are disappearing. Your sense of purpose is slipping. Society stops seeing you. We call it the fade — and this show exists to fight it. Against the Fade is a podcast for men 35-65 navigating the realities of midlife — physical decline, social isolation, emotional silence, and identity loss. Hosted by Jonathan, a 47-year-old personal trainer and health coach who has spent years training men through this exact chapter of life. Strength. Brotherhood. Defiance. A Second Summit Podcast.
