What if you could meet with your older, wiser self for a few minutes and get all the answers you need to live a life you’re proud of?

A life with more joy and fewer regrets.

A life of purpose and passion.

That’s exactly what this episode feels like.

In this powerful conversation, Mel sits down with Dr. Karl Pillemer, director of Cornell University’s Legacy Project.

Dr. Pillemer has spent years researching the lessons and regrets of thousands of people in their 80s, 90s, and 100s.

His mission? To gather the life lessons they most want you to know, before it’s too late.

What his research reviews is not vague inspiration. It’s sharp, honest truth about what makes a good life and what everyone gets wrong.

This wisdom is a gift, delivered while you still have time to use it.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

-The biggest regrets people carry into their final years, and how to avoid them

-The simple shift that leads to lasting happiness

-What people in their 90s say they would do differently if they were your age

-How to stop waiting for your “real life” to start – and start living it now.

Let this be the conversation that changes you.

Because the people who’ve lived the longest are clear on one thing:

It all goes by so fast.
