Show Notes:
In this episode of Mid-Life Opportunity, Doc Conor Hogan Ph.D. interviews Rob Hodes, an autistic middle-aged man from New York. When he was learning to speak during childhood, Rob could only say vowels (no consonants), yet now he is a coach helping others with autism. Despite being bullied incessantly because of his stuttering, Hodes did not let this affect him in the long term. It was not until 2005 that Rob was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome/High Functioning Autism, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, and many years were lost where he could not form or keep good relationships until he learned the reasons why he was different. Now Rob's personal mission statement is to inspire individuals on the Autism Spectrum to defy societal labeling!
Mid-Life Opportunity is a show about men in their mid-life who have been successful in business, health, performance, or any other area of life, but who have also had challenges too. Men throughout this stage of life will be interviewed on the show, so that the viewers & listeners can learn about how these men finally saw opportunity from their mid-life instead of crisis. The show will also welcome viewers to appear on the show if they are struggling in seeing a mid-life opportunity in their life.
The show will be presented by Dr. Conor Hogan Ph.D. "Doc" Conor is a middle-aged man himself and is also the world’s leading high-performance neuro-socio psychologist, and has worked with many men during their mid-life to propel opportunities in their life.
Doc Conor’s work has been admired by many other highly successful middle-aged men, including John Assaraf, CEO of Neurogym, who said that Doc Conor has the critical details for those who are committed to improving their mental performance. Former NFL quarterback, Jay Fiedler, is another who spoke positively of Doc Conor’s work by saying that Doc Conor can help guide anyone looking to handle pressure-filled situations with more confidence and ease. David Melzer, co-founder of Sports 1 Marketing and former CEO of the renowned Leigh Steinberg Sports & Entertainment agency (the inspiration for the movie Jerry Maguire), has said that Doc Conor’s messages are so essential for those who want to tap into their fullest potential!
