MEET YOUR HOST

My name is Simon Burgess.

 

I’m a family man and dog lover. I love a pint on a Saturday night with a bag of peanuts. I am also a business owner and now at 55 I have found myself questioning, where do I go from here?

 

After dedicating 35 years to a rapidly evolving creative industry, the world of video production, I have lost my sense of direction. The seismic shifts in technology; from traditional video production to smartphone-driven content creation and of course, AI, has made me question the part I play. Yet without it, who am I?

​

I am so fortunate, in so many ways, and yet I do feel a little lost.

​

So, join me on an exploration of the challenges, the unexpected turns, and the profound uncertainties that accompany this significant junction. Together, let's navigate the uncharted territory of this period in our lives, by diving deep into the personal narratives of individuals who have embraced this transformative phase with courage and resilience.

 

Through insightful conversations and personal stories, we’ll navigate career shifts, rediscovering passions, redefining relationships to embracing newfound freedoms. This podcast aims to illuminate the diverse and evolving landscape that characterises our later.

 

Whether you find yourself approaching, experiencing, or reflecting on this transformative phase, ”Life's 2nd Act" offers a supportive space to reflect, connect, and find inspiration as we collectively navigate the uncharted waters of this remarkable journey.
