What if midlife wasn’t something to fear, but the perfect time to create the life you really want?

In this episode, New York Times bestselling author and Modern Elder Academy founder Chip Conley reveals his six-step framework for midlife so you can thrive in the second half of life. These steps aren’t theory, they’re actionable tools you can start using today to find more purpose, joy, and vitality in midlife and beyond.

Chip shares how a near-death experience, a cancer battle, and his own version of “male menopause” changed everything and how what he learned can change everything for you, too.

Here’s what you’ll discover in this conversation:
The single mindset shift that can add 7.5 years to your life
Why midlife isn’t a crisis, it’s a reset (and how to navigate it)
How to stop chasing achievements and start building a life that feels good
Why editing your life is the key to creating space for what matters most
The role of purpose and service in living longer, better

If you’ve ever asked yourself “What’s next for me?”, this episode is your midlife blueprint.
