If you want to be inspired and get some clarity about what it can mean to age wisely, this is a must-listen podcast.
Chip Conley, the strategic inspiration behind Airbnb, is also a best-selling author with a new and compelling message.
According to Chip, the first half of our lives is all about accumulating. We accumulate identities, knowledge and experience. But in order to move fully into our next passage, we have to stop accumulating, and instead, edit. We must let go of baggage and make room for what’s next.
And what’s next according to Chip?
Wisdom.
Wisdom that is harvested. Wisdom that is not taught but shared. Wisdom that is regenerative.
Wisdom requires that we shift our operating system from ego to soul.
He is the founder of the Modern Elder Academy, with a mission to grow regenerative communities that make use of our longevity by giving it vision and purpose.
It’s the perfect plot twist. And a most wonderful conversation to wrap up our year.
Take a listen.
