I'm about the same age as Michael, I'm 72. I am maybe at the fourth half of my life. After my 50's, I went through even more interesting experiences and ups and downs, now being the downside. However, as before, and despite my age, I still feel there's a few miles left and that I can still accomplish some good in this world. For me, it's not over until they put me in the ground.
👍😎
I'm 65 and I am definitely a different person after going through 10 years of caregiving for my husband who had Early Onset Alzheimer's!
I became a better person!
A terminal illness will set your priorities straight real fast!
🙏🏼
“Be grateful for what you have.” Those are powerful words. Sometimes we have to force our minds to do that.
A wish man once said dont be afraid to start over again this time your not starting from scratch your starting from experience. Hope you wise guys like that I think it says it all. Respect from Ireland. 🙃🙂
Great wisdom always! I started selling my artwork in grade school and I am still selling now in the second half. My biggest struggle in fulfilling my dream was convincing my family and other people to believe in my dream. Everyone told me it was impossible. Even my teachers insisted I would only meet with hardship and failure! Lol! My attitude is that life is full of hardships, no matter what path you choose, so always choose the path of love!
Absolutely 💯
I learned starting with my grandparents that our elders have lived with passion and love for the simple things in life. I'm blessed to see that it's the love that we give to others that only matters in the end. All the noise and distractions and plans don't mean a thing when it's your last day.
I'm 23 and just in the first quarter lol, I'm grateful for mentors like my father as well as Michael and Chazz that share their priceless experiences. Loving the show 👊
Thanks Gents - This is exactly what I needed to hear this morning. Keep up the great work!
You're very much welcome!
I love watching and listening to these two men. They are giving out free lessons. Thank you for the teachings. ❤
Great discussion as usual. Personal Growth is key as we age. Everything changes after 40. You learn what really is important. God, Family, Health... The real stuff.❤👍You deserve a decent car and vacation time. Don't be guilty!👍💕🙏
Mr. Palminteri, just close the door and say " Now yinz can't leave" You Rock
Wasn't it "now youz can't leave?" "Yinz" is Pittsburgh-ese. I've never heard it anywhere else.
@@robbiefrantz8170 Yes, you are correct. Next when the whole neighborhood chased them up the street beating them was just as awesome. They have pride in their neighborhood.

Much Respect From Anaheim California this is important for everyone to watch thanks for sharing your knowledge both of you guys
This 2 guys are very good, make me positive, really like it.
God changes our perspective on everything 🙏💛
After some of the same foolish choices I've made again especially the last month seeing this podcast about an hour ago for me couldn't have come at a better time. God bless you fellows thank you for doing what you do. Thanks for the encouragement....
@michael_franzese531 not sure where to begin but I will start from here... I have struggled with meth addiction/porn addiction for many years now and I have been delusional from it and and a few days after my binges not knowing what the truth of reality is, for example, I sighed on to be a part of your family in July and never responded for the zoom meetings because I was high and paranoid not believing it was really you trying to get a hold of me and partly because I'm not sure exactly how the whole Internet and email functionality works completely but I need a bit of some education on that matter and such... I am very tired from the lies and deception of everything... I am very optimistic about the future despite my bad decisions even now as crazy as that may sound. I was up again since Friday till last night. I woke up today a few hours ago and I know it is not going to be easy dealing with the exhaustion for the next week or so but I got to stop escaping the stress and the sadness of this world and stop loosing my temper with My phone's I apologize sincerely for the situation and never responded to you Mr. Franzese. Respect is number 1 And I hope you can forgive me for my negligence And not responding to you p. I know you are a busy man and know now it is really you I'm communicating with now so I'll be free to speak with you about it if you want to ANYTIME... . Tomorrow would be great if you can. or when ever you want to. God bless you and your family. I appreciate you taking the time to reply to me
You guy are awesome. It's like a church service. I was meant to hear this and makes me so much more wiser
unfortuantly most of my experiences in life have been negative. As a result, I look at things a little differently. I use to believe that as long as you were a good person and did the right things in life, it would work in my favor. Chazz and Michael I don't really believe that anymore. What I learrned is that for me 99.9% of the time being a good person and doing
the right things never worked out for me. I could never catch a break in anything. Now, after
some years I decided that i was just going to do my best with what I have and not expect anything more than what i have. I believe in God and I pray that He helps and guides me always (and my family too). thats about it. Thanks Chazz and Michael for all that you both
do with these videos to help people
Happiness is about building g lasting relationships and finding comfort in the small things in life.
I'm 67 and really do enjoy my life. I work outside, love to cook and gardening. I've been single over 20 years, and even I get lonely once in awhile, the peace is invaluable. I'm not good at picking partners 😉
great video as always watchen right now god bless be safe there!!!!!
I appreciate the support!
Am so grateful for Michael even tho he is so Popular he is so kind treated me like I was somebody .love the Wise and Wiseguy so Informative Many people will be blessed by this platform

Thanks guys
Been on a binge today watching episodes of this podcast and it is truly a gem.
Happy to see this kind of wisdom and also hear these perspectives on said wisdom from these two gentlemen.
Appreciate the content guys.
Thanks for everything.. one love 🌹
Great chat guys really enjoyed. 👏🙏
Nice sharing ❤ thanks
Always look forward to the videos!
We are so happy to know.
i didnt find my adult mind set until i was in my late 30s early 40s, now 47yrs my way of living has turned a 180%,,,, i like being old now but when i was young wild n free i didnt want to live past 40 so from here on everything is a bonus,,, hurry for longchevity
Mirror image here. I'm 42 and have only really matured in recent years The hardest part figuring out what to do for another 20,30,40 years
Nice Talk Guys I Appreciate it...
Nice, just when I needed it. Thank you both ❤
Thank you! Thanks for watching!
I greatly appreciate the wise words
Showed this to my parents. GREAT content as always 👏🏽 👌
Another great video from the guys. Great points of view
Later in life, we are not alone if we have faith in God, in spite of limitations, the peace to carry on is found inside where Gods love for us abides, even with fewer friends and family.
Great video
Thank you for creating such an uplifting channel 🙏🏽 I really enjoy your podcasts. Much appreciation to the message that things happen for a reason and yes, instant gratification may lead to nothing but a trail of destruction behind. Unfortunately it's so true. 😢
Amen!
I"m 52 and physically stronger than ever, but it takes intensity at gym.
Thank you both!! Another great episode. As I get older, my perspective is always changing. My father has always told me on many issues “you will understand better when you get older”. I hate to admit he was absolutely right. You would like my father.
I'm grateful. My son and I also had our rights not honored.
Many people raised in a scarcity mindset never come to understand that you must practice gratitude in order to receive more to be grateful for, they envy others their wealth because they still misunderstand that happiness is created not found and has little to do with material wealth
Thank you guys and you are Great !!!
You're welcome!
😊
im from south africa and i like your content. keep on sharing your great knowledge with us you are appriciated🙏🙏
Amusing and good show to listen to, I liked the bit about famous A holes!!!
Amen
Happiness is relative. If you can be content and at peace everyday and live in the present you can easily be happy.
I was surprised Micheal said that living for today is in the Bible. That’s also taught in Buddhism and other religions as well.
I’ve noticed that with me; priorities and values definitely change as you get older.
What goes about on 4 legs in the morning, 2 legs in the afternoon and 3 legs in the evening?
I listen to your channel every morning. Very inspirational it has helped me find peace when I need it . Keep up the good work . Just to throw a book out there with a few good lessons “the alchemist “
You guys look terrific for your age. God Bless
Spot on. It's the Pursuit of Happiness that is that is the point. Flexibility and being willing to adapt to change is paramount. Go buy another Infinity! Maybe a 370Z SS..... Congratulations on the wheels.
Nice work fellas stay well watch your backs and enjoy your families
Soon to be going back to the states looking forward to go to your live speeches Listing my condo here in the Philippines Michael probably could use your insight on getting the most for my money ... honestly just trying to get what I paid for it but the peso rate has gone up since I purchased it @michael_franzese531
Hi! I am looking forward to this podcast… my birthday is on August 21 and I want to learn how to better appreciate the second half of my life as I still miss being 18 😊
Happy birthday in advance!
I found the answer from my research
I think life is how we judge ourselves & others to utilise our interpretation of it.
Talk about feng Shui its common factors of understanding common sense. As we progress we understand more.
Chazz is 100pct correct in his opening comments that's something I struggle with a long with a lot of other stuff I'm 65 and I'm looking at it as early 4TH Quarter My goal now is to win the game and cover the spread I'm playing from behind trying to pull out a miracle win still have a shot God Bless
Thank you my friend and God bless!
Change is scary!
All actions go full circle and return to you, if you want a good life, do good things, engineer good karma
Second book you’ve done now I don’t currently have. That will change. Have a great week.
Get it, I'm sure you'll love it. Link of the book in description
I noticed no matter how much you try to show and be positive on videos on CZcams people always find a way to comment negative comments no matter what and it’s sad because it makes us think what kind of negative thoughts goes through these peoples minds and can’t wait to share with the rest of us.
That's how our world is now, which is sad.

Wealth is measured by relationships(Heart) not by materialism(Money). Focus on needs not wants. Elders educate!

@@TheWiseandtheWiseguy your welcome. I love all your work.
My son is 8 yrs old and was adopted I was a meth addict but now I'm clean and sober...that's sounds like my story but I'm Oglala Lakota. I.C.W.A should have been applied to my case but wasn't my son and I are both enrolled tribal members of the Oglala Sioux tribe.

@michael_franzese531 what's in look
up how are you your gorgeous your.wife.is.luckyabe she's Lucky too you must really love each.other I did like like oly One thing about you I cant say on.tje.
By definition Christians KNOW they are sinners, that is exactly why they NEED a savoir. It's others that put the burden of being sinless on Christians. And secondly, the definition of contentment is "actually wanting what you already have"!

I've got a 99 honda civic which has some mechanical problems. But I in no way would look down on anyone for buying a new car etc. I am a pastor of a small church and don't have a ton of money. If I really wanted money I would not have become a pastor. It is not a rich person's fault with my money situation. This is really about coveting. People get mad because they covet what overs have. I don't have that problem.
Don’t put your bullshit on me !
What happened to all safe kids talk? Just talk? What are you doing? I’m will to help
@michael_franzese531 I’m still waiting
Michael, you where shouting from the rooftops in your support for Tate and I asked you, if you want your daughters or your wife alone in his company, you didn’t reply or answer the question?
@michael_franzese531 sorry I don’t understand your reply, would you want any of your daughters in Tates company, simple question a yes or no answer please?
Thank you gentlemen, this was a great show.
I'm not happy I have 2 jobs. Health insurance can't enjoy eating taking a diabetic pill. I could be happy. But there's people that won't allow me to be a little bit happy. And they never will. They even raised their kids to carry on their tradition. But Jesus suffered how can complain about that weak ass petty shit.
So Chaz preaches change and a different path from young life and now yet he can't forgive Lilo Brancato...
What a hypocrite...
Also these cats have all the money in the world, it's easy to be content and happy in your second half of life...
Its easy to talk about change and sexond half of lives when u have loafs of money amd are geytonh more trying to sell books amd get yt likes...
Unreal..for some of us , the pain never ends...stop the bullshit
