We'll keep it informal. Here's what we'll cover:
Introductions and spotlight from Alex Langshur, who built the world's largest Google Analytics 360 reseller ($10M+) and then became CEO of the Americas at Incubeta ($100M+) where he now leads the hunt for AI-forward companies to acquire.
Group roundtable discussion focused on how seasoned leaders are getting seen by real decision makers when the hiring process is flooded and filtered before a human ever reads a word.
Q&A and best practice collaboration on what's actually opening doors for peers right now, and the conventional advice they'd drop this time around.
Tracy Green is a tough-minded optimist and a fierce collaborator who has spent decades building stories that had to work, on deadline, in front of huge audiences. She led newsrooms as an award-winning news leader, then moved into unscripted television as Executive Vice President of Original Productions, the studio behind the Emmy-winning Deadliest Catch, and Live Show Producer of Big Brother.
She went on to become Executive Vice President of All3Media USA, co-launched Hitplay.com, and most recently redesigned newsroom software for CGI. Throughout, she has sought out start-ups and turnarounds on purpose.
Craig Mangan has spent nearly 30 years as a creative director and writer, working with brands like ESPN, the NBA, Amazon, Logitech, Clorox, and Ubisoft. He founded and sold his own agency, Funworks, and tends to see problems the way an operator does, not just a creative. Today he's a freelance creative director, copywriter, and consultant, and fractional CMO of Second Act Shift.
The best moments of his career have always been team sports. People who take the work seriously but not themselves. That's what pulled him into Second Act: rooms full of experienced people figuring out what's next, together. Before any of it, he was fired as a parking lot attendant. He maintains it wasn't entirely his fault, but he's decided to move on.
Dan Rollman is an executive coach and creator of the Second Act framework, a model for helping mid-career professionals design their next chapter. He’s guided over 200 people through it, including leaders from Google, ESPN, Disney, and Apple. Prior to coaching, he was a venture-funded founder who appeared on Shark Tank, CNN, and Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, and a creative leader who wrote two Super Bowl commercials and national campaigns for Domino’s, HP, AT&T, and the NBA.
Dan holds a relentless belief that the best is yet to come, both for himself and those he works with. He makes space for clients to find their own authentic path and build the nerve to live by it.
Kenny White runs Electric Thinking, where he helps leaders close the gap between having AI and actually using it to do better work. His team has trained people at companies like Visa, ESPN, ABC, and Intuit, and his approach comes down to one idea: the tools matter far less than how you think with them. Most people are using a sliver of what AI can do, and he built a business out of changing that. He has spoken at HumanX and Human Tech Week, and his work has been featured in Harvard Business Review and Fast Company.
Second Act is a community for experienced professionals navigating career reinvention through executive coaching, practical AI guidance, and meaningful connections with peers entering their next chapter.
We create experiences, resources, and connections that enable professionals to explore new possibilities, gain clarity, and move confidently toward a meaningful next chapter in their careers and lives.
