488. A Better Way to Age with Chip Conley

We marvel at the tallest trees in an old-growth forest, but we don't tend to put old and growth in the same sentence when we talk about humans. But you can – and should – be both aging and growing at the same time. This conversation with Chip Conley explores the concept of a modern elder — someone who is as curious as they are wise. If you want to learn from Chip Conley on how to age and grow at the same time, check out his Commune program Thriving Through Midlife & Beyond.
