Mid-Life Career Re-invention with Chip Conley - Ep 141

Something happens to many of us in our 40’s or 50’s: having achieved a certain level of success, we yearn to find work that is an expression of who we are. Chip Conley can help with that. He founded and runs Modern Elder Academy, a school and retreat center dedicated to helping people navigate midlife and beyond. To do so, he draws on insights and wisdom earned over his own incredible career journey. For over two decades, Chip ran Joie de Vivre, the boutique hotel owner/operator that he founded in his 20s. In the depths of the Great Recession, the combination of medical crisis and market turmoil compelled Chip to sell out at the bottom of the market. While many might have given up, Chip forged ahead, reinvented and redefined who he was, all the while staying open to where that journey would take him. It eventually took him to Air BnB where become the in-house consigliere (among other things) for Air BnB CEO/co-founder Brian Chesky. Today, Chip writes, speaks, surfs, and provides the space and resources to help other “successful” people examine their lives and commit to positive paths forward.  Learn more about Modern Elder Academy hereand Chip’s newsletter here.  • 💪🏼 Rate and Review Crazy Money by clicking HERE.💪🏼 • 🦸‍♀️ Follow Paul on Instagram HERE🦸‍♂️  Topics covered in this episode: #purpose #wellness #community #travel #hotels #Airbnb
