About Midlife Circus
Midlife isn't the end — it's the evolution. Hosted by Brent Drever and Rob Espenel, Midlife Circus is where real conversations meet reinvention. Like any good circus, midlife is part chaos, part wonder — a stage for learning new acts. From career changes and empty nests to money, relationships, health, and second-act adventures, Rob and Brent explore the unpredictable, messy, and meaningful middle of life with humor, honesty, and a touch of rebellion. It's a show for Gen X and anyone reinventing what comes next. Pull up a seat under the tent — and get ready to laugh, reflect, and rediscover what's possible in Your Next Great Act.
