Life satisfaction declines on average between our early 20s and 45 to 50 when it bottoms out. What if life begins at 50? And before that, it was a dress rehearsal.
Ever felt like midlife is a rollercoaster of highs and lows? Chip Conley knows the feeling all too well. In this episode of 'Cracking Open with Molly Carroll', Chip shares his journey through the ups and downs of being in his 50s. From moments of joy, like understanding a complex AI article, to those tougher times when the mirror reflects more wrinkles than you'd like, Chip's experiences are deeply relatable.
He opens up about losing five close friends to suicide and surviving a near-death experience himself. These events reshaped his outlook on life, teaching him that our awareness of mortality can actually guide us to live more meaningfully. Chip also draws fascinating parallels between life and ballroom dancing, where he learned that in the first half, the ego leads, but in the second half, it's all about the soul.
Tune in to hear about his creation of the Modern Elder Academy and why he believes midlife is not just a crisis but a transformative era. With Molly Carroll steering the conversation, this episode is packed with heartfelt stories and practical advice on how to embrace aging with grace and curiosity.
