In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with Chip Conley, founder of the Modern Elder Academy and author of Learning to Love Midlife: 12 Reasons Why Life Gets Better with Age. Chip shares his insights on embracing the power of midlife and reframing the way we think about aging. We dive into the concept of the "modern elder" and how combining curiosity and wisdom can lead to a more fulfilling life.

Chip introduces the idea of "middle essence," the midlife equivalent of adolescence, and shares strategies for navigating this transformative period. He also discusses the three stages of transitions and offers practical advice for coping with each stage. We explore the importance of cultivating purpose, harvesting wisdom, and maintaining social connections as we age.

If you're in your 40s, 50s, 60s, or beyond and looking for inspiration and guidance on making the most of this exciting chapter of life, this episode is for you. Chip's insights will help you shift your mindset, embrace your potential, and thrive in midlife and beyond.
