We’re Expanding For You
Dear friends:
It’s been quite a journey since we officially launched Halftime with Jon on June 24, 2024.
It feels like we’re growing up on the fly. We launched as a network for men at midlife, with a first season focused on navigating divorce & separation, and we’ve put out excellent content on mastering this uniquely difficult stage of midlife. A few stats we’re proud of:
Nine episodes launched across Apple Podcasts and YouTube
6,000+ viewers & listeners
20,000+ impressions through social media
Attracted a significant female audience (despite launching for men); according to Chartable, our audience is 57% more female vs. podcasts in our category
We also received lots of feedback that the wisdom in our first episodes is applicable to anyone navigating difficult life circumstances in pursuit of personal growth – leading to the realization that our reach is actually much broader. And this makes sense. If you present a difficult life challenge to an expert life coach, divorce coach, therapist, or author who’s successfully navigated the emotional dynamics of that specific challenge – their wisdom is going to apply not just to that challenge, but to anyone in a similar circumstance.
For example, consider these gems from our guests:
“It’s not about the money” - Episode 9 guest and Divorce Coach Wendy Kesser reminds us that when two parties are engaged in high-stress negotiations about money, it’s often not actually about the money (vs. ego, emotion, etc.).
“Build your own community” - Episode 2 guest and Exec Coach Bj Wasserman counsels that building and having a strong support community (especially for men) is essential to navigate life challenges.
“The body is the battlefield of the emotions” - Episode 3 guest and MELD Founder Owen Marcus explains how unprocessed emotions end up trapped inside our bodies with negative consequences.
Based on this feedback and other launch learnings, we’re excited to announce that we have updated our mission to reflect our experience since launch:
Halftime with Jon is the personal development network for midlife, offering a blend of expert insights, practical tools and inspiration on everything from wellness and relationships to money and career – to help you thrive during this pivotal period. Whether you're seeking to reignite your passions, rediscover your purpose, or find a whole new direction, Halftime with Jon will connect you with what truly matters.
