What if midlife is actually the start of your happiest years?


In this episode, Chip Conley and Derek Gehl break down why life often gets better after 50, from rising emotional intelligence and deeper wisdom to feeling more like your true self. Chip explains why “growing whole” matters more than “staying young,” how Carl Jung’s insights can reshape your mindset, and why a pro-aging outlook can change your health, relationships, and purpose.


If you want a fresh, hopeful take on midlife, don’t miss this conversation. Watch now.
