Do you know that feeling when you're cooking, and you've got all your ingredients chopped and ready to go, spices measured, oven pre-heated? All that's left is for you to spin your magic as a cook. In the kitchen, the French call it mise en place, everything in its place.

In that same vein, to disrupt yourself, your strategy and support need to be in place. You need to give yourself the room to roam, so to speak, to realize your full potential.

Our guest today is all about creating spaces that let you realize that potential. Chip Conley is the former founder of Joie De Vivre, a boutique hotel chain. He's worked with AirBnB as a quote unquote modern elder, and now Chip's turning his attention to the potential of midlife – a word so laden with stigma, he's building regenerative horse ranches to change that.

His new book, "Learning To Love Midlife", is out January 16th.
