mid fc

Proudly mid. Forty, tired, and still trying.

Friends around 40, in tech, who grew up speaking Portuguese. Middle of life, middle of our careers, and average parents on a good day. We talk about all of it, plus soccer and ideas, and we do not pretend to have the answers.

About our show

Friends around 40, in tech, who grew up speaking Portuguese. Middle of life, middle of our careers, and average parents on a good day. We talk about all of it, plus soccer and ideas, and we do not pretend to have the answers. We record in English, with a Portuguese episode now and then. Over time we will talk more about tech, small businesses and new ideas.

FC stands for Friends Club. Our knees are too old for a real football club anyway.

Life at 40

The quiet questions that show up in the middle of life. Health, time, and what matters to us now.

Careers

Working in tech in the US. Stay on the safe path, or take a risk on something new?

Parenting

Raising kids far from where we grew up, while we are still figuring out our own routines.

Marriage

Honest notes on a long partnership. The good days, the hard weeks, and how we stay a team.

Soccer

Our first love from back home. The matches, the clubs, and why we still care every weekend.

Ideas

Tech, small businesses, and whatever we are building or arguing about this month.
