In this episode, Steven Morris, Dan Pink, and Chip Conley discuss:

- How midlife is a time of reflection and significant change in identity and purpose
- The role of anticipated regret as a catalyst for taking meaningful risks and making important life decisions

Key Takeaways:

- A proactive and reflective approach to midlife challenges can reduce feelings of being stuck and promote transformation
- The importance of peer support, accountability partners, and reconnecting with lost relationships in fostering fulfillment
- Differentiating between consequential and inconsequential decisions is crucial to maintaining a healthy life perspective
"Regret is adaptive if we treat it right." — Dan Pink
"I think that the decisions I've made along the way, especially when people have said, 'That's a really bad idea'... that's when I think I feel the best. It's because I did not succumb to the popular wisdom or the popular perspective or people who are trying to protect me."— Chip Conley
