15. Midlife Is a Calling, Not a Crisis: Julie Flakstad on Networks, Truth & Your Greatest Connection Point

What does it mean to take inventory of your life—and your network—at midlife? In this episode, I sit down with Julie Flakstad, founder and host of The Midlife Truth Project, a limited series podcast that’s earned an Ambie nomination and featured guests like Sarah Blakely and Chip Conley.

Julie shares how networking helped her bring the podcast (and her new documentary, book, and more) to life—starting with a bold list of dream guests and working her web of connections until it became a reality.

From redefining the word “networking” to weaving powerful webs of personal and professional community, this conversation is packed with truth, strategy, and inspiration.

In this episode:

Why midlife is a powerful time to re-evaluate your network
How to approach “big names” with intention and impact
The power of asking, connecting the dots, and staying curious
Why Julie prefers “webbing” over “networking”
Using your network to open doors—not just for you, but your kids too
