Jonathan: As you move further into life it becomes more about what you leave behind and maybe I'm hearing that wrong because I tend to have a knee-jerk reaction when I hear things like that on the one hand I understand it.

By the way if you’re wondering why Chip's name might sound familiar, beyond earlier appearances on Good Life Project, he’s also a New York Times bestselling author, the hospitality maverick who first built and sold a boutique hotel chain, flatlined on stage while keynoting, then reclaimed and reimagined his life, stepping into help Airbnb's founders turn their fast-growing tech start-up into a global hospitality brand, all before founding the Modern Elder Academy.
