Chip Conley: How to Thrive in Midlife

LiSTNR
About this episode

Do you want to make your midlife the best years of your life?

Joining Sarah Grynberg this week is hospitality visionary and bestselling author, Chip Conley. Chip is the founder of Joie de Vivre Hospitality, and Modern Elder Academy, and the former Head of Global Hospitality and Strategy for Airbnb, who has a wealth of experience in navigating the midlife transition. In this thought-provoking conversation, Sarah and Chip delve into the nuances of midlife, challenging the notion of it as a crisis and instead framing it as a period of growth and opportunity.

They discuss the importance of embracing new friendships as your circumstances and interests change, coming to terms with the ageing process so you can age gracefully, cultivating individual passions, and redefining success on one's own terms. If you want to enjoy life’s journey with authenticity, resilience, and a renewed sense of possibility at any age, then this episode offers invaluable perspectives for listeners at any stage of life.

Let this conversation inspire you to cultivate joy, purpose, and fulfilment in the years ahead, recognising the richness that comes with embracing every chapter.
