Most success and achievement can't satisfy the deeper desires of your soul — especially after 40. In this eye-opening episode, Philip Blackett uncovers how midlife prompts a profound reevaluation of what truly matters, challenging the myths we believe about our accomplishments and happiness.

Explore how Ecclesiastes offers a heartfelt mirror to those questioning whether their life’s pursuits have delivered fulfillment. Philip reveals how the relentless chase for recognition, wealth, or achievement often leaves us empty-handed — and how this season of life is an unexpected gift for realignment. He shares powerful insights from Ecclesiastes 1-14, illustrating that many pursuits are like chasing the wind — ungraspable and fleeting. Yet, within this realization lies an opportunity: rediscovering purpose beyond achievement.

You'll discover:

1. Why success can often leave us feeling more restless than fulfilled

2. How to distinguish between work that gives life meaning versus work that becomes our identity

3. The danger of linking self-worth to external accomplishments

4. Practical questions to reflect on what endures when achievements fade

5. How relational, spiritual, and character-driven pursuits lead to lasting fulfillment

This episode matters because, in a world obsessed with constant growth and comparison, understanding what truly lasts can free you from the cycle of restless striving. If you're navigating midlife — whether you're feeling disillusioned, confused, or simply seeking a deeper sense of purpose — these reflections are your guide to building a life anchored in what truly matters.

Perfect for anyone in midlife questioning whether the life they've built is enough, or feeling the weight of ambitions that haven’t delivered peace.

Discover how to reorder your pursuits so that work becomes service, success becomes stewardship, and recognition isn’t your ultimate measure. When you learn to stop chasing the wind, you can start building a life of lasting value and meaning.

Join us as we unpack how to find satisfaction that endures in the second half of life. Your journey to deeper purpose begins with a simple question: What remains when everything else is stripped away?

This isn’t just a reflection — it's a call to recalibrate your understanding of success and to build a life rooted in what truly lasts.
