430: Living Your Best Life in Retirement with Lux Narayan

Today, I’m talking to Lux Narayan. Lux is an author, entrepreneur, stand-up comedian, and storyteller. We first discovered Lux through his TED Talk, What I Learned From 2000 Obituaries. From there, we learned about his work as the founder of StreamAlive, where he helps livestreamers and storytellers engage, in-person or online, with AI-powered SaaS. In our conversation, we discuss his new book Name, Place, Animal, Thing: An Inspiring Fable For Grownups About Hope, Positivity, and Living Your Best Life, in which he weaves a fable for adults about life transitions full of wisdom–especially as it relates to retirement.  You’ll learn why Lux believes in the beauty of being a generalist, what inspired him to write this book, and how it changed his life during a time of great personal and professional uncertainty. You’ll also discover a few things we can do at every stage of life to live a kinder, grounded, and deeper existence.
