Life Fulfilled Podcast — Ever wonder? “Is this all there is?”
Ever find yourself wondering, “Is this it?”
Yeah, me too. That ache for real, soul-deep fulfillment is exactly why this show exists. A richer life is closer than you think.
I’m Bernie Borges, Founder of the Fulfilled@Work Academy™ and creator of the Fulfillment Centric Leadership™ framework. Every Monday, I bring you real, practical conversations centered around the five pillars of a fully lived life:
- Health – aligning your mind and body to thrive
- Fitness – moving in ways that energize, not exhaust

- Legacy – creating a life story you’re proud to tell
Here’s what you’ll experience:
- Honest stories from real people navigating fulfillment in real time
- Solo episodes with lessons I’m learning (and unlearning)
- Insightful guest conversations packed with takeaways you can use now
Tune in if you’re ready to:

On episode 222 we're joined by Loren Greiff, the founder and CEO of Portfolio Rocket, an executive career strategist, and the host of the Career Blast and a Half podcast.
The conversation covers navigating career transitions for those over the age of 40. Loren shares insights on overcoming ageism and how to adapt to changes like the increased use of AI in the workplace.
🗝️ Three Key Discussion Points:
1️⃣ Packaging Deep Experience: Loren emphasizes that simply having experience isn't enough—you need to translate it effectively to prospective employers. This involves clearly articulating the value of your experience with concrete metrics and using modern tools like LinkedIn profiles and even video messages to present your package professionally and uniquely.
2️⃣ The Role of AI: While AI may seem intimidating, Loren assures us that it’s here to reveal what we can do better, not replace us. Embracing AI as a tool for productivity is essential, and making it a part of your daily routine can enhance your market value. Learning how to leverage AI in your industry is an expectation in 2025 and beyond.
3️⃣ Importance of Upskilling: Ongoing learning is vital, with Loren highlighting the importance of investing in your skills to remain competitive. Whether through online courses or other means, adapting to new technologies and methodologies is critical for maintaining and enhancing your career trajectory.
Main Takeaway: The workforce is evolving, and so must we. Loren reminds us that while ageism exists there are numerous strategies and modern tools available that can help us stay relevant and thrive. Thought leadership, effective networking, and continuous learning are pillars for a successful career transition in midlife, enabling you to land the roles you desire and earn the value you are worth.
