Current Episode 046 - Mike Plaia

10^th

Experience

In this episode of The Age of Lions, Mark sits down with entrepreneur, CEO, former Army officer, coach, and mentor Mike Plaia for a conversation about what it means to grow older with greater purpose, discipline, and faith.

Mike shares how his perspective has shifted as he’s aged—from pushing harder and accomplishing more to becoming increasingly intentional about where he spends his time, who he surrounds himself with, and what he’s ultimately pursuing. He talks about creating a “to-don’t list,” the importance of choosing the right people for your inner circle, and why successful leaders have to resist pride and remember that everything they’ve been given is ultimately something they steward for God.

Mike also opens up about coming to a deeper walk with Christ later in life and how that changed his priorities as a husband, father, businessman, and leader. The conversation explores the lessons found in adversity, our responsibility to pour into younger generations, overcoming fear and self-doubt, and why getting outside your comfort zone is essential for continued growth.

And Mike offers a challenge perfectly suited for every Lion: “When in doubt, let the lion out.” It’s a conversation about making the years you have left count—and a reminder that whether you’re 50, 60, 70, or beyond, it’s never too late to lean into the purpose God still has for your life.

What if your best years aren’t behind you—but you’re actually being prepared for your greatest season of impact?

In this episode of The Age of Lions, Mark sits down with entrepreneur, pastor, coach and author Ken Joslin for a powerful conversation about purpose, discipline, relationships and continuing to grow as we get older.

Ken shares how his journey through ministry, business, personal loss, health transformation and entrepreneurship has shaped the work he is doing today—and why he believes everything we walk through can prepare us for what God has next.

They talk about Ken’s philosophy of “incremental, not monumental,” the power of small daily disciplined decisions, why proximity to the right people can change the trajectory of your life, and the importance of intentionally investing in your faith, health, relationships and purpose.

Ken also shares the thinking behind his new book, The 14 Frequencies of Proximity, and why authenticity, community and the relationships we build may be some of the greatest “cheat codes” for growth.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your window of impact is closing, this conversation is a reminder: God isn’t finished with you. Your experiences, relationships, wisdom and even the difficult seasons of your life may be preparing you for what comes next.

In this episode:

- Why getting 1% better every day matters

- “Incremental, not monumental” and the power of consistency

- Finding purpose in the second half of life

- Why obedience matters more than controlling outcomes

- Fighting isolation as we get older

- Ken’s Community, Circle and Corner approach to relationships

- Why proximity can accelerate growth

- Building discipline into your everyday life

- Becoming the best version of yourself so you can make your greatest Kingdom impact
