Getting older isn’t the beginning of the end — it’s the start of a stronger, smarter chapter. I’m Mike Mahony, and Strings of Life is for anyone over 50 or 60 who refuses to fade into the background. Here, we talk honestly about aging well, staying active, keeping your mind sharp, beating loneliness, learning new skills (yes, even guitar at 60), and finding purpose again.
What you’ll find: strength and mobility routines, brain health and scam protection, purpose and resilience, real talk on grief and identity, travel and adventure after 60, honest product reviews, and my journey learning guitar later in life.
Every video serves one mission: Age Without Apology. If you’re ready to live stronger and smarter in this next chapter, hit Subscribe and join the Strings of Life community.

On May 23rd, I got the call.
“Your MRI shows a PI-RADS 4 lesion.”
That’s doctor-speak for probable cancer.
This isn’t a video with clean answers or a happy wrap-up.
It’s a real look at the waiting.
At the fear that creeps in.
At what you tell your wife… your kids… yourself.
If you’re over 50, or love someone who is—watch this.
Because when you’re in the middle of it, you need to know you’re not alone.

You’re not lazy. You’re not unmotivated.
You’re just bored — and that’s a dangerous place to stay after 60.
In this week’s video, I share how picking up a guitar helped me find my spark again—and how you can do the same.
Whether it's painting, fishing, or fixing things, hobbies aren’t a luxury… they’re a lifeline.

Mobility = freedom.
And freedom? That’s the power to get off the floor without wincing, tie your shoes without pain, and live life sharp after 60.
💥 I just dropped my 5-minute daily mobility routine—no gym, no gear, no excuses.
Try it for 7 days. You’ll feel the difference.

🔥 Looking back at my journey… 🔥
On the left: A younger version of me, grinding 105-hour weeks, constantly exhausted, and missing out on life.
On the right: Present-day me—living with balance, working smarter, and no longer chained to the grind.
The key? Building the right team, setting boundaries, and learning that doing it ALL yourself is a fast track to burnout.
If I could tell my younger self one thing, it would be:
👉 “You don’t have to do it all. Focus on what matters, and let go of the rest.”
What advice would you give your younger self? Drop it in the comments! ⬇️
