  • Time well spent

    Thank you Chip Conley! This podcast is so full of wisdom and hope, that it’s making me excited for the life I’m going to create for my 60s, 70s 80s and beyond!

    I’ve learned something unique and profound in every single interview so far. If this is what I get from just listening to this podcast I can’t even imagine what taking a workshop at MEA will bring and I have the intention to find out.

  • The Pied Piper of Reinvention

    Even if you are prone to be cynical —or an enlightened curmudgeon—Chip’s journey from wunderkind hotelier to road mapper of life’s least favorite stage is GOAT inspiring. Give a guy like this a podcast and you have a recipe for binge listening and optimism incarnate. He likes famous people which I hope moderates with time, but everything so far is a total must-listen.

  • Inspiration + Practical Action

    Chip Conley and the MEA team are curating some great conversations with guests that provide both inspirational AND practical insights - a pre combo. Big thumbs up in particular to Episodes 5 and 6 with Seth Godin and Rich Roll (Rich was the first live record with audience). I’m looking forward to seeing how this series evolves over time.

  • Go to source of inspiration

    Chip Conley has done it again! I know his work from Learning to Love Midlife and Modern Elder Academy but in bringing this important conversation to podcasting, he has normalized the transitions we all go through. It’s refreshing to hear successful people talk about their journeys and drop wisdom in such an accessible format. I’m all in!
