In this episode, Derek and Chip talk about aging, relationships, purpose, and the life lessons that only become clear with time. Through a powerful exercise imagining a conversation with his future self, Chip shares the insights that have reshaped how he thinks about success, love, health, and what truly matters.

• Why talking to your future self can help you make better decisions today.
• The surprising relationship lesson that completely changed Chip's perspective on growing older.
