Podcast Overview

Windmills: Mastering Midlife is about finding and maintaining your identity at a point in life when you may be lost amidst all of the different roles and responsibilities you have. On it you will hear discussions (individual, one-on-one, and roundtable group) of people navigating mid-life, like progressing from a successful career to a new career adventure (or retirement,) helping children become successful adults while caring for aging parents, finding and focusing on hobbies and activities that provide meaning and identity, and staying physically, mentally and emotionally healthy when time and energy are at a premium. You should listen if you are an adult facing any life change, whether that be starting a new career, beginning a new relationship, becoming a parent or grandparent, considering taking up a new hobby, or just want to know that you're not alone in what you are experiencing.

Matt Nagel: Poetry on America

In this special podcast episode in honor of America's semi-quincentennial, guest Matt Nagel shares a poetry unit on America that he taught while a high school English teacher. Starting with Walt Whitman's "I Hear America Singing," then Langston Hughes' "I, Too," this poetry unit traces the development and voices of America as represented in poems by Allen Ginsberg, Allison Adelle Hedge Coke, Ed Bok Lee, and Tony Hoagland. Where possible, I have included the recording of the poet reading his or her own work.

A Conversation with Matt Nagel

This episode is part of a conversation I had with a dear friend from our graduate school days in Nashville, Tennessee. Although our time at Vanderbilt only overlapped for about two years, we developed a friendship that we still cherish nearly a quarter of a century after the time Matt and his family moved. We begin briefly discussing Matt's current career change, but the focus of this episode is on one of Matt's passions, which in his own words is, "Dad band cosplay."

Thoughts on Motivation

This episode of Windmills explores the nature of motivation through personal stories of academic, professional, and athletic challenges. I reflect on how meaningful goals, accountability, and clear plans have shaped my successes, from learning Spanish in Chile to earning a PhD and completing Ironman triathlons. I contrast vague dreams with actionable goals, emphasizing that motivation often fades without structure, support, or purpose. Through failures, setbacks, and eventual breakthroughs, we discover that external accountability and personal commitment are key to sustained progress. This episode encourages listeners to examine their own dreams and consider what motivates them to turn aspirations into achievable goals.
