Episode Details

In this episode, I chat with another like-hearted human, Chip Conley. What could happen if we shifted our perspective of mid-life? We no longer see it as a crisis petri dish of broken relationships and trying to reclaim our youth with a red-hot sports car but as this beautiful moment of rebirth. I’m so grateful for the work Chip is doing, especially as he battles cancer. He’s putting a wonderful ripple into the world and making a difference along the way.
