Ep.13: Ego to Values Based Living with Chip Conley

In this episode, we talk about living a life based on your values. When Chip flatlined he decided he needed to change his life. This led to the founding of Modern Elder Academy.  "If you don't like change, you'll like irrelevancy even better" says Chip Conley, founder of Modern Elder Academy.  Rebel hospitality entrepreneur and New York Times bestselling author, Chip Conley is a leader at the forefront of the sharing economy. At age 26 he founded Joie de Vivre Hospitality (JdV), transforming one inner-city motel into the second largest boutique hotel brand in America. After running his company as CEO for 24 years, he sold it and soon the young founders of Airbnb asked him to help transform their promising start-up into the world’s leading hospitality brand. Chip served as Airbnb’s Head of Global Hospitality and Strategy for four years and today acts as the company’s Strategic Advisor for Hospitality and Leadership. Chip’s five books include PEAK and EMOTIONAL EQUATIONS and are inspired by the theories of transformation and meaning by famed psychologists Abraham Maslow and Viktor Frankl. In his new book, WISDOM@WORK: The Making of a Modern Elder (September 2018), Chip shares his experiences – as both mentor and unexpected intern – at Airbnb, and why he believes the intergenerational exchange of wisdom is critical to the modern workplace and our society. Chip is the founder of Modern Elder Academy in Baja California Sur.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/unhustle/support
