In this episode, I speak to Chip Conley the author of Wisdom at Work: The Making of a Modern Elder. Chip is a rebel hospitality entrepreneur and New York Times bestselling author, Chip disrupted his favorite industry... twice. At age 26 he founded Joie de Vivre Hospitality (JdV), transforming an inner-city motel into the second largest boutique hotel brand in America. He sold JdV after running it as CEO for 24 years, and soon the young founders of Airbnb asked him to help transform their promising start-up into the world’s leading hospitality brand. Chip served as Airbnb’s Head of Global Hospitality and Strategy for four years and today acts as the company’s Strategic Advisor for Hospitality and Leadership.

In this episode, we discuss:

- The Modern Elder Academy

- The Beginner’s Mind

- How to navigate midlife transitions

- How listening connects with wisdom and much more
