In this episode of "GenX Hits Menopause," host Heather Reilly Hiemstra sits down with Mark Mears, best-selling author, keynote speaker, and business consultant to talk about new ways of working at midlife.
Mark introduces an earlier book "Paying it Backward," which is about sharing lessons he wishes he'd known earlier in life, as a belated mentor to his younger self. Sharing his own professional experiences and career setbacks, Mark shares how his LEAF and LOVE concepts for working better came to be.

His newest book, "LOVE At Work", will be available fall 2025.
