About
Husband, Father, Podcaster, Speaker, Workshop Facilitator
I’m Bernie Borges, Founder & CEO of Thrive Media and creator of the Fulfillment Centric Leadership™ Framework. My mission is to help leaders build thriving, fulfilled teams across all generations by fostering workplace cultures rooted in five key life pillars: Health, Fitness, Career, Relationships, and Legacy.
With over 30 years of leadership experience and marketing expertise, I understand that communication is the cornerstone of effective leadership. By leveraging this expertise, I work closely with leaders to design Fulfillment Centric Leadership™ strategies that not only inspire and engage employees but also align with organizational goals. These five pillars aren’t just buzzwords—they’re the foundation for creating workplaces where people feel valued and empowered to thrive.
As the host of the Midlife Fulfilled Podcast, now with over 200 episodes, I bring a unique perspective on how personal and professional fulfillment drives productivity, retention, and loyalty. I’m deeply passionate about equipping leaders with the tools to energize their teams, foster meaningful connections, and cultivate loyalty through fulfillment-centered communication and strategies.
Let’s partner to architect a culture where fulfillment and communication drive lasting success.
I had a hunch, and I was right!
Throughout my 200+ episodes of the Midlife Fulfilled podcast, I had a hunch that the 80/20 principle would apply when we asked survey respondents to choose between fulfillment and happiness. If they could only pick one, I suspected most would choose fulfillment. The data from my Thriving in Midlife report proves this to be true.
