Turning 50: How Did I Get Here, and What’s Next? | Dom Hind | F*ck, I’m Nearly 50!
F*ck, I’m Nearly 50!Show Notes
Introduction | How the hell did we get here — and what’s next? Hi, I’m Dom Hind, and F*ck, I’m Nearly 50! When I recorded this, I’d just turned 47. I wanted to start asking the questions, rather than wait for the birthday: what do I actually want, what still excites me, and am I living my all? This is where I tell you a bit about me and why I started the podcast. There are friends, family, career changes, houses, marathons and a recycling station under the stairs. I’m still a work in progress...

Season 2 · Episode 9 | Camilla Thompson Another test, another tracker, another thing we’re apparently supposed to be doing. Have we made health too complicated? Camilla Thompson and I ask whether looking after ourselves has become another bloody job — and how we make room for a life we actually want to live. Camilla is the founder of BioHackMe. I confess that the word biohacking gives me the ick, even as I find myself drawn to the data and experiments. We get into individual differences, the ...
Season 2 · Episode 8 | Ash BG The milk, the school bags, the appointment nobody else remembered. If you’re tired of being the person who notices everything, come and have a listen. Ash BG and I talk about the work that happens in our heads before anyone sees a task — and why sharing the jobs is only part of the conversation. Ash is the writer behind You Wanted This and the founder of Tether. We get into motherhood, resentment, whose career bends when family life needs something, and what our ...
Season 2 · Episode 7 | Dawid Naude If AI feels like one more thing you’re supposed to understand already, you’re in good company. Dawid Naude and I talk about where to begin, what this change might mean for our work, and the experience we already bring to it. You don’t need a perfect prompt to have a go. Dawid is the founder of Pathfindr. We move from AI as an adviser to tools that can carry out tasks, then get into small business, education, career changes and the human judgement that still ...
Season 2 · Episode 6 | Karen Van Esveld For years, I thought eating well and exercising was enough. Then Karen asked whether I’d ever had a DEXA scan. That question took our chat somewhere quite different: what do I want my body to keep doing for the next 30 years? Karen and I talk about bones, muscle, nutrition and understanding our own health information. We get into the difference between bone-density and body-composition scans, the changes around menopause, and why the answer isn’t simp...
Season 2 · Episode 5 | Elkie Hughes Before signing up to be a “better version” of ourselves, shall we ask who decided the current version needed fixing? Elkie Hughes and I get into the expectations we pick up from family, work, society and that voice in our heads. This chat gave me plenty to question. Elkie is the founder of Be Your Happy. She shares her perspective on the beliefs we carry, the moments that shape our sense of worth, and accepting the parts of ourselves that aren’t all neat an...
