A Message From Our Founder

Meet Trevor O'Hara

Founder and CEO, The Interlude Café

Hi, I'm Trevor

For the last three decades, I’ve lived at the intersection of business, innovation, and international living. During my career, I’ve worn multiple hats—C-level executive in software and telecom, serial entrepreneur, and now, Founder of The Interlude Café. Each role has shaped how I view reinvention and change, both in business and life.

Early in my career, I worked in international development roles, helping scale companies in some of the world’s most dynamic markets.

Then, for two decades, I ran a global venture consulting practice focused on the airport and travel industry. During that time, I helped businesses raise over $60 million in capital and achieve more than $300 million in combined revenue.

I’ve lived in 12 countries, worked across 40 more, and led multinational teams—gaining a front-row seat to the power of adaptability amidst constant uncertainty.

I didn’t realize it at the time, but these experiences would prepare me for my next chapter: founding a company that addresses midlife transformation, nonlinear living, and the untapped potential of the 45+ demographic.

Why The Interlude Café?

The seeds for The Interlude Café were planted years ago. Working internationally with fast-growing businesses made change feel second nature. I became deeply curious—not just about how companies reinvent themselves—but how people do, too.

Over time, I noticed cracks in the traditional life script of education, career, retirement. Our world was shifting, and people’s priorities no longer fit a strictly linear path.

As I approached midlife, it became clear that outdated perceptions of aging didn’t match the reality around me.

People over 50 weren’t slowing down; they were energized, ambitious, and eager to redefine this phase of life. Yet society seemed stuck, nudging us to “dial back” instead of embracing fresh opportunities.

This dissonance inspired me to create The Interlude Café—a media, education, and technology hub for midlifers who reject decline and celebrate reinvention.

We’re done grouping everyone over 50 into a single demographic. Whether you’re interested in unretirement, launching a new business, pivoting careers, or simply seeking new connections, The Interlude Café is designed to help chart your next path, offering insights, tools, and a supportive community.

Embracing Change & Agilism

Change has been a constant throughout my career—switching industries, managing multinational teams, and advising high-stakes startups. Adaptability isn’t just a skill; it’s a necessity. Over time, I developed a framework for thriving in uncertainty called Agilism.

Agilism is a principles-based approach to navigating unpredictable environments—a mindset built for a world where traditional paths often give way to pivot points.

It’s about thriving amidst the unknown, whether you’re leading a company through a strategic shift or embarking on a personal reinvention in midlife.

The same mindset I honed in business can be a powerful tool for anyone confronting midlife transitions. Society often tries to write our script for us, whispering (or shouting) that we should slow down. Agilism pushes back against these outdated narratives, championing a confident approach to reinvention.

Beyond The Interlude Café

While building The Interlude Café remains my focus, I’m also passionate about the rapidly growing longevity industry.

Many people believe that longevity is just about healthcare, but it actually spans wellness, finance, technology, education, nutrition, and beyond.

Valued at $9 trillion today and projected to surpass $28 trillion by 2050, this space isn’t just about healthcare; it’s about unlocking opportunities for midlifers who want to keep evolving.

Too many businesses still treat the 50+ demographic as a monolith, failing to recognize its diversity of interests, ambitions, and experiences. I advise a select number of companies on how to engage this dynamic market more effectively. Through my forthcoming book, The New Midlife, I look forward to sharing fresh perspectives on how we can all thrive in a longer, more flexible life.

When I’m not working, I indulge my love of nature and adventure in the mountains. I split my time between Henley-on-Thames in the UK, Vancouver in Canada, and Alicante in Spain—reflecting my belief that life should remain expansive and adventurous at any age.

Midlife as a Catalyst for Reinvention

Founding The Interlude Café has brought everything I’ve learned about change and opportunity into one place. It’s a community where midlifers can feel seen and supported, leaving outdated perceptions behind in favor of vibrant possibilities. If you’re rethinking what life after 50 looks like—and ready to embrace your next act with confidence, curiosity, and clarity—welcome to The Interlude Café. I’m so glad you’re here.
