Tik Maynard is an internationally respected horseman, author, and dad who hit midlife before realising that life is less about striving and external validation and more about understanding who you truly are and how to live from that place with honesty and purpose.

Through his journey training wild horses for a high-stakes competition, Tik uncovered something deeper: how presence, vulnerability, and authenticity are not just essential in horsemanship - they’re essential in life. This is a conversation about midlife reckoning, being authentic, and learning to listen - both to others and to yourself.

You'll hear about:

  • The concept of “high involvement, low attachment” and why it might be the most powerful mindset for any man facing change.
  • Why midlife can feel like a split and how to reconcile it.
  • How animals, especially horses, can ground and heal us.
  • What Tik learned about masculinity in the most vulnerable competition of his life.

This episode isn’t just about horses. It’s about the deeper journey of midlife - one that calls you to live more authentically and reminds you that it’s the path you walk, not the destination, that truly shapes you.
Tik’s book, Starting in the Middle, is available in the UK from Quiller Publishing and in the USA from Trafalgar Books. You can also buy it from Amazon.
