Thank you for the simple but honest words. I have hit a bad patch, but I've decided not to let life or my emotions to control me anymore. I AM better than I was before and the great thing is we all can improve further.
David
Awesome John, went through the same crap as you in my early 40's. Went through a divorce in 2006, father died, moved into basement of my mom's house, with two young kids. Instead of a post traumatic stress experienced I turned it onto a post traumatic growth experience. Worked my but off and was able to retire at 52. Cheers.
Love it Jeff! Thanks for commenting!
@Milan Lucky Have a unique skill in building fibre optic networks and cable systems. Very fortunate to work internationally and saved/invested 50% of my consulting fees. Lived below means... Cheers..
Good for YOU
That’s awesome!!!
Help me! I need a mentor, a total change of lifestyle for myself and my family.
Never apologize for getting emotional because you are passionate about life. Great message and great channel. Well done!
Thank you David!
@@40OverFashion Thank you for this channel and all you do.
Great job John, at 64 I decided I needed to focus on myself, started eating healthier, hit the pool three days a week, down 50lbs!
Besides keeping the weight off, my goal is to dress classier daily so your fashion videos are a must see. I have the energy I had in my 30’s so you are correct, you are never to old.
72, still the same weight I was in high school, 136 pounds, work out most days with just weights, eat good food, don’t eat crap, do keto now and then and fast every day, eat twice a day😊
Thanks for this!! I just turned 55 and am in better shape physically, financially & mentally than I was in my 20's, 30's & 40's
Thanks for watching!
Glad to hear that ! You are an inspiration.
Any advice for people who you are a bit younger !
Had my moment of truth in my 20s when I realized that the only person I could count on is me. I left the job my father “planned” for me, went to grad school on my own dime, and started a new career. Along the way I dated many beautiful women, but did not allow any of them to derail my goals of success or to simply “tag along” but insisted on a woman who was similarly interested in developing herself. At 42, I married a physician who had a similar self reliant experience in her life. Our 25th anniversary this year. Know your worth, stay the course and don’t “settle”.
Social isolation helped me to realize a bunch. Went into therapy, started jogging and practicing more than ever (I’m a pro musician). I’m about getting rid of overweight, performing, feeling and LOOKING my best in years! And I’m enrolling law school next January at my 47. I’ve learned a lot in this channel.
Love this Bernardo! Thanks for commenting!
Excellent, real men have feelings also. I just turned 50 in February and I hit my reset button on my life. Life is too precious to allow your past to dictate your future.
Keep up the good work!
Well said! Thank you!
Great message. I needed to hear this!
first of all, THANK YOU to everyone who wrote a post here, I read many of your comments and its a mirror image of what Im going through, Im 46, divorced, my kid lives 9 hours away from me, lost everything I had in the process, fell into a severe depression but little by little and with the help of my friends and from reading your comments I feel less alone in the re building of myself, thanks again.
I’m 62. I’ve had ups and downs. You’re never to old to reinvent yourself. I’ve been down. I’ve been out but I’m not giving up on myself. Onward and upward. Love your videos.
❤
This video is one the reasons I will always support this channel. Like many others who commented here, I’m reinventing myself after losing it all. I’m 49, starting over and feel as if I’m rediscovering myself. It’s exciting and scary at the same time. I’m in a state of becoming and I will do so with some style and and a tremendous amount of self-care. 👊🏾
Real men are never afraid to show emotion John so don’t apologize….makes you real and genuine. You are a legend my friend! Cheers mate.
Cheers Chris!
Great message John, thriving after 40 rather than just surviving! I meet plenty of guys over 40 who just accept their lot in life (career, body shape, health) after 40, boggles my mind, we've so much time still left in life to build the Life, career and strong bodies we dream of. Kudos to you for grabbing life by the balls still :-)
Thank you very much!
I concur with your sentiment 100%
Australia.
I subscribed BECAUSE you got emotional and DIDN'T edit it out.
Passion and authenticity, that's an influence I need in my life.
Thank you!
Never apologize for being overcome with heartfelt emotion. It's wonderful.
Thank you!
I feel like I’ve been reinventing myself these last two years. I got into fashion thanks to channels like yours, John. This cascaded into fitness and a plethora of self improvement books. It’s all been amazing and wish I did this a long time ago.
I know how you feel! But remember, the past can’t fixed and the future will never come. Life in the moment! That is a lesson I didn’t truly understand until Dec 2021.
Awesome video. The last year has been a challenge: I lost my job, my mother died, I had a falling out with my verbally/emotionally abusive father, my wife survived a heart attack, and I turned 50. All of these events triggered a midlife crisis, which I'm doing my best at dealing with in a healthy way.
I've been in such a rut with how I conduct myself, how I dress, how I live my life that I'm now taking inventory of everything that I'd like to change. Thank you again for posting this!
Thanks for watching Daniel!
Brilliant. Humble, kind, gracious. Thank you for this.
Thanks for watching!
Hey - I am 48 and just few days back I started watching videos on how to look elegant on dressing. I really admire ur knowledge and the way your articulate. Words of wisdom and experience that most may not get in their lifetime.. u touched the soul… I originally belong to a different world but can’t relate every word you spoke.., stay blessed and my god bless you with prosperity and happiness.
@40OverFashion I can not express my gratitude enough for this video. I'm 42, I had the big stick of life beat me to near submission in the last 2 years, loss of my Dad suddenly, now caring for my mother, my relationship ending, un-employed and now living at my Mum's place in total despair.
With the help of your videos, with their clear information and suggestions - I've got an idea to be self employed, I went and purchased a shirt (I even tried it on before buying - first one I have purchased in 15 years) and I even had a date! Thank you for helping me to voluntarily get off the 'trash heap' and to start imagining a reinvented version of myself is possible.
It struck home seeing your passion for what you believe and strive for - something I had given up with for over decade. Your emotion is strong enough to wake a similar hope and gratitude in those of us who had given up. A sign of a true gentleman.
Cheers chap!
Thank you very much for commenting! Cheers!
John, You remind me of my Grandfather, Italian immigrant who worked hard 5 day a week almost his entire life with his handsHe was a talented craftsman with a European sense of style. Although he was a stone mason, when he was not at work he wore dress cloths and has his haircut every Saturday. His cloths were mostly tailor made and like you he was bless with great hair and good looks. As a boy I remember watching the care he took of himself. When he walked into a room you could see the ladies and how aware they were of his presence. Except for his wife beater, he didn’t own a T-shirt. He taught me to dress like a boss, and people would see you that way and before long you will become a boss. I always listened to him his advice was priceless. You do carry yourself the very same way. I’ll bet Italy was a wonderful place to become a man.
Thank you very much Michael!
thank you. I am 46 and needed this message today.
My pleasure! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for this video. I am 46 years old and just currently in the stages of reinventing myself.
I’ve hit rock bottom and slowly pulling myself out of this quick sand called life.
I took a leave of absence from my job of 20 years
to work on self development and it’s a scary yet exciting adventure.
I have a long journey ahead of of me. I have lost 30lbs and have min 60lbs to go. I like wearing nice clothes and that’s one of my goals to get in shape.
I’ve never been more happier and so proud of the mini accomplishments taken.
Your story is nearly identical to mine! I’m 48 and literally hit rock bottom. But even with all that I positive that I will pull myself owt with determination and belief in my self! I’ve alwaYs told others to love themselves 1st but I never did for myself. It took years but I am getting there! Salute to you for making the decision to live your life for yourself!
@@CLBarr I’m glad I’m not in this journey alone. You keep going. I learned to quiet all this and attack whatever obstacle(good or bad) in my way.
Salute to you my friend.
For me this really hit home. Im still going through a divorce, but since last January when we split I've struggled to motivate myself. The house is still to be settled and I just want my life back. I recently found your channel as I've started to think about the future more and looking out for me for a change. Reinventing myself in a better way and creating new aspirations has been my goal for a few months now. Hearing you say what you did - just tells me I'm on the right path. something I never knew I needed to hear.
Thank you.
You’re very welcome Darren! Thank you for watching!
Good on you John. I myself have decided to get back on -point. I hear you repeatedly say, "You are never too old." So, at 69, single and the proud Dad of a 8 yo son (long story) it is time to regroup. My motivation is me AND the lessons I will give to my son.
I just want to thank you for bringing a humanistic feel to all your great fashion advice. Keep up the great work that so many of us enjoy.
Thank you!
The finances is critical. At 54, lost the house, the businnes and i have afamily of 5. It is a grinding, mentaly destructive thing to be here after having worked hard and 2 busineses. So i find myself trying to get the finances back in order with this brutal feeling of desperation as if time is going away
Proud of you Bro!
🏆This was Gold!
Being genuine is the key to success - honest with yourself and your maker!
A young 58 here. Watched, enjoyed, and heeded many of your videos and advice. At 08:00 on this vid today you hit me like a brick - a good brick: "It's never too late.... you're never to old... to make a change in your life - or start something new.' - Thanks for your vulnerability too - real men show their emotion - you hit it! So amazing, good word thank you. I mentor young men daily, so I have many Gen Z's and Millenials in my life, who I out age by 35 years sometimes. Thanks for helping me look my best so that I can continue to relate to them in the way they long for the most: With Authenticity. - Thanks again for all your hard work. - Mark Edward
Thank you Mark! Much appreciated!
In my 20s I thought I was a failure. In my 30s my mom passed away and it hit me hard too. I also realize how short life is and turned it around. Now in my 40s I’m not even close to the same person I was. Keep at it gents you can turn it around. Enjoy your weekend and thanks to John for creating wonderful content.
Thank you Ron!
Reminds me of the Miami Vice days and the song by Pete Townsend " Face the Face' as I fire up my small Lear jet for some High Altitude meditation ! You're on the right path pal and as Johnny Walker says 'Keep walking' !
Great video John! I've learned to only compare myself to the me of yesterday. I'm 55. I'm happy, healthy, and feel the same as when I was 29. A positive mental attitude and finding enjoyment in a great workout help. Interacting with strangers as though they are our future friends makes each day a joy!
Legend. Good Sunday Morning, John. I love Thursday video. It spoke to me. I feel like I've been on a journey since the tender age of 40. I'm turning 46 next month and I've already made some improvements in my life; Moved to the Nation's east side, New job (I just received a raise after 1.5 years working 👍🏿) losing weight by changing my diet, sporting better clothes and footwear, and getting out and experiencing life while at the same time holding on to my values and principles. I used to be reckless with money when I was in my twenties. The most smart thing I did was invest in a 401k in my old job and it's grown okay. My goal is to be better prepared financially after paying off my debts. I did see the video of you talking about how you lost everything, that's when I felt the connection to you. You're just a regular human being trying to do the best he can while helping other guys 40 & up be better. Thank you so much, John. I hope you find this long comment very well 🙏🏿🙂💙🫂🤜🏿🤛🏻
Thank you very much!
‘Strength through Vulnerability’, my friend.
No need to apologize for any vulnerability.
#legend
Legend!
I just started on my journey to a better me two years ago and I'm just a hair younger than you. I so appreciate your videos because I'm 80 pounds lighter and finally feel like I'm at a place where I can start not only looking good, but feeling good. I've got a good 30 years left in me and they are going to be the best thirty years of my life. By the way, I can also appreciate you getting emotional about the things that mean the world to you.
Love this! Thanks for commenting!
I couldn’t agree with you more on dressing how you feel or how it makes you feel to grow up into a better quality of dressing and life. Thanks for this.
John great video. I’m with you brother, I’m 55 and purchased a brand new wardrobe over the past 3 months and will give the skin care a try. I love looking and feeling great. It keeps me motivated.
Absolutely! Thanks Ben!
Legend. My 25 yo self never thought my 60 yo self would be taking sailing lessons, but it’s great fun.
Love it!
Thank you for the upfront and honest story of self discovery and improvement. For me, it was a few friends who died in the early 40s that woke me up that life is short and you never know when it's your last day so live it up and live it well. LEGEND!!!
Legend! Cheers to a life well lived!
Great video! 3yrs ago i lost my father and almost lost my life.I am 41 now and im trying to live! Thanks for the video i have a lot of work to do
Great video. When a guy is in contact with his emotions, it is a clear indication of what is important to him. I applaud you. REMEMBER - as long as you are alive, the battle continues . . . .
Thank you Sam!
Great, inspirational story, great message! START LIVING BOYS!
This video is a “home run”, thanks for a great message John.
Thanks for watching!
Hey John, wise words as usual. Thanks for your support, feeling fitter, stronger and younger at 56 more than ever. Loving your posts here in Harrogate, UK.
Thank you!
Going through the back catalogue. Great message.
Another winner John. Can't tell you how many times I used to (not any more!) compare myself to someone "cooler" or smarter or...whatever. Now, I frankly don't give a crap who's cooler or smarter; I'm greatly blessed and talented and have so much to give. Maybe that's age; self confidence; whatever. It's a great feeling...confidence without arrogance (well, maybe a tiny bit...) Jim in FL
Hey John enjoyed your material here, you even got alittle emotional there towards the end. One observation I have made as I move into my early 40s is that now I find myself living and struggling with REALITY. This is an important fact because I think at earlier points in my life I was not, maybe because of youthful naïveté but regardless dealing with the world as is and not entertaining any sort of fantasies is where I want to be at this stage. Thanks again for the video.
Legend. The first minute of this video says it all. Perspective. Live in the now-not where you thought you might be. It makes no sense to dwell on what could have been. As John said, we are different from our younger selves, wiser.
I m yet to get in my 40s but still I love to watch ur UA-cam channel. Thanks for all ur inspirational videos. 🙏
Thank you very much!
I really needed to hear this this morning. Thank you.
God be with you 🙏 brother, you're doing alright 👍 !!!
Love how you wear your heart on your sleeve in your videos, so real.
Thank You for everything you do! You're awesome!
Thanks for all these pieces of wisdom John. They're all really useful not only for guys over 40 (like myself) but for above or below 40s.
Myself personally have been on this reinventing journey since 2019 and it's been really a good experience.
At 44 I'm still reinventing myself. We are all striving to be the best versions of ourselves. You've come a long way. Keep on keeping on. Thanks for the videos, it is appreciated. #legend
Thanks Jeremy!
Great message! Keep on livin’
This video is absolutely a home run John! While watching this video, I see how I’ve improved in areas of my life and I can think of areas I still need to work on. Thank you.
thank you john for doing this. get busy living and i'm planning on doing that!
Your authenticity is what made me subscribe. Wishing you the best and thank you for sharing
I appreciate that! Thank you!
Thank you for this video. I'm in my early 40's and hit rock bottom a few years ago. I'm now in a better place and finding myself. Its encouraging to know it's not too late and it's possible to continue to better myself
Can't thank you enough for this one John... Incredible insights and content. I needed to hear some of this today. Thank you for the belief that nothing is wrong with me and I can reinvent myself. Much love my friend. Damn, Why did i almost cry at the end??
Thank you Eric!
it's easier for us now (I'm 44 this year) cause we have great support from you John!
Likewise! Thanks for commenting!
One of the best things I dig about your videos is that you're like a good friend/mentor who is having a conversation over a glass of wine. This one is no different. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Jason!
Thanks for sharing John! Just turned 40, divorced a few years back and trying to improve myself in every way possible. I really found your video inspiring and helpful!
Legend! I really enjoy the positive message you deliver in every video. Thank you.
Tom Scollo WOW John great message for so many of us keep up the awesome work !!!!
Thank you!
BTw it is after watching ur channel I now understand ( lol after 48 years ) on what looks good .. so thank you again !!
In 2014 at 42, my mum pasted away, I went through a divorce and lost over 75% of my assets and net worth, I was working stupid long hours, all the stress accumulated and reactivated a dormant virus from my childhood and I lost 75% of my eyesight.
I had to force retire early had no income coming in, my 2 kids were at private school and I really fell into a black hole. I was on the 11th hour of ending my life.
I then thought what am I about to do to my kids my dad and friends. My pain isn’t worth doing that to then
I thought “ don’t get better get better”
It wasn’t easy but I rebuilt life over a few years to where I now I Now the fittest and healthiest I’ve ever been even though I’m still Vison impared.
I run a successful life coaching business and I found love again.
Change is matter how hard is always possible you just have to commit to it and find your purpose
Hell yes! I love this! Thank you for commenting!
I appreciate all your videos and tips. It might be because we’re almost the same age and Seattle guys but I’ve been through quite a bit myself and it hasn’t been an easy journey. We keep going to improve ourselves. Thanks for making these awesome videos.
Thank you for watching!
Hey John, that little wobble in this video shows us guys your human, we all have moments like that, another great video, keep them coming.
Thanks Gary!
We are about same age and even though I come with a total different background it sounds like weve been through same life events, chronologically matching! You deliver your message perfectly and feels like you are a mouth to me and to a lot of other guys here. You are doing great job, you are real and genuine no bells and whistles not trying to to be someone you are not. And for that I appreciate your work. Cheers to the many more healthy productive years to come John. God bless.
I really loved the genuine feeling that you left in. I have been watching for I think a little over a year. I am truly enjoying the variety.
John you are not just a great youtuber... you are a great motivator too. Thank you 😊
Hi John. I guess one way that I have reinvented myself is to try and be more outgoing and not care so much what other people think . I used to kind of tip toe around always afraid of saying the wrong thing so I said nothing at all. So whether right or wrong that's how I roll these days. BTW judging by the pictures you are as they say aging like a fine wine.Keeps getting better. Peace. 🙂
Ha! Cheers!
I love this guys channel. One of the few definitely worth following.
Great video glad you posted keep them coming thanks
Great video John. I've been listening to you for years and really appreciate your topics. This is a great one and a great reminder to continually improve, live your best life and become the person you are called to be. Thanks.
Thank you Mike!
Very well said John. Funny how I was thinking about what you said a few days ago. How through life experience what I value and do not is something that hit home for me in today's video.
It's something to see how you and your group of friends ( if you have been friends for a long time ) have evolved and changed but are the same people deep down inside. For most, your core values do not change. I'm happy who I've become at age 58.
Time to live and keep on living as long as possible.
Well said Mark! Thanks for watching!
Love your work John
You are right so many things change with maturity and age….
Keep up the great work mate!!
Thank you John for sharing. We are brothers on parallel paths!
Thanks for watching Chad!
Way to go John, another positive message,
Proud to be in our 40s club John, I strongly agree with your worth ethics and dedication .. spot on bud!
Love your channel and personality!
Fantastic blog!
Thank you for keeping things real and being brave enough to share your story and emotions.
Thank you very much!
Inspirational! I'm sure there are many men out there who will find meaning in your message (including myself). Thank you!
Tuned in for the fashion and have remained for the many life lessons as well. Thank you.
I like your honesty. Keep on doing your good job. 👌
Awesome, thanks bro, I was able to relate to that having just turned 50, really appreciate your openness. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you John. 🙏
Hey my friend ,,,,your tears touched me and were genuine !!! you are doing great ,,,,and your message is totally true,,,keep it up brother, Love to you from Cairo.
Thank you!
thanks John!
Great video, keep up the good work and thanks for all you do!!
Legend. Great video and from the heart. You are right, I am not the same person I was at 20. I was in the Air Force eager to see the world. Today I try to take better care of myself and enjoy the journey. Work is important but there is more to life.
I never thought I would say this to a “stranger” that I watch on YT that it’s fun to watch you continue to grow and follow your passion and be successful and inspirational to so many of us. I really admire your determination. Your 100% correct that you can alway re-invent yourself, not matter your age. I don’t know you, but seeing your “transformation” is really inspiring, and you make a difference to so many it what you do, you should really feel proud of what you give to others, it’s great to see. Glad I found this channel and have gotten to know you through your channel. God bless you brother, and keep of the great work.
Thank you very much! Cheers!
Thank you for your heartfelt words of encouragement. I needed that right now. Legend. God bless!😊
True so true, people change over time and at 49 I am way different than my 20's and 30's. Thanks you for sharing.
Thank you so much for another Great video! I've been implementing your advice for the past couple of years and have come a long way. I'm 53 and am thoroughly enjoying my journey and excited about my future prospects!
Legends Unite!
Thank you Rick!
You always bring great content to the table. I've learned quite a bit from you, but hearing your testimony about your difficult past, and the last 30 seconds of this video.....thats what I appreciate about you and your channel the most. That level of honesty and transparency. Keep fighting and moving forward brother. Keep setting the example, for those of us that need that hope and inspiration. Respect.
Thank you Shawn!
John, I really appreciate your videos
I am a woman, but the information here is still relevant. This is an amazing journey that you are on, and most certainly inspirational. Thank you for sharing your story with us.
