SZ 119: Through the Looking Glass Ft. Chip Conley

Get ready to uncover the mysteries of life! In our 119th episode, "Through the Looking Glass," we host the legendary hotelier, world-class community builder, five-time New York Times bestselling author, and head of hospitality at Airbnb: 🔷 Chip Conley 🔷 But we're not exploring hotels or travel. We're here to dive into something much more profound: why life gets better with age 😎 Chip is no stranger to reinvention. He's spent his career defying expectations and breaking new ground. At the age of 26, he became the youngest person ever to run a major hotel chain. He's since gone on to build and sell multiple businesses, write best-selling books, and inspire millions of people around the world. A few years ago, Chip had a wake-up call. He realized that our culture has a terrible bias against aging. We see it as a time of decline, of loss, of slowing down. But Chip believes that the second half of life can be even richer, more meaningful, and more fulfilling than the first; now running Modern Elder Academy. MEA is about reframing the concept of aging. It's about seeing it not as a decline, but as a time of growth, wisdom, and purpose. It's about using our experience to help others, to make a difference in the world, and to live life to the fullest. He draws on his own experiences, as well as the wisdom of elders from around the world, to show us how to tap into the unique gifts that come with age. Join us as Chip takes us on a journey through the looking glass. He'll share his new book on how us how to see aging in a new light, and how to unlock the potential that lies within each and every one of us.
