The Jen Marples Show

The Jen Marples Show episode 182 is here!

Listen up, ladies! Today we have a MAN on the podcast! For the first time in three years! So, I’m thrilled to welcome Chip Conley, author of Learning to Love Midlife, and the founder and CEO of the Modern Elder Academy to the show! Chip rocks my world with all he’s doing to support us midlifers and I’m so honored to have him as a guest today!

This conversation is sure to change your life and spur you into action. Chip is a true trailblazer for rebranding and destigmatizing midlife, and you’re going to love hearing his midlife insights and personal journey. Chip brings a unique and invaluable perspective that I know will resonate with you deeply.

Chip Conley is a hospitality industry maverick, New York Times bestselling author, and the founder and CEO of the Modern Elder Academy, the world's first midlife wisdom school.

Chip and I discuss:

• Why he founded the Modern Elder Academy, the world's first midlife wisdom school.
• The concept of "midlife chrysalis" and the importance of reframing our relationship with aging.
• Embracing “no more f*cks” left to give and having a sense of urgency.
• How to adopt a “transitional IQ” and understand where you are on its continuum.
• The value of age fluidity and embracing all the ages we've ever been.
• The importance of trying new things and why it’s never too late.
• How we become both “logical and lyrical” in midlife.
• The significance of community, connection, and rituals in navigating midlife.
• The unique challenges men face in midlife and insights on how women can better support the men in their lives.

You’ll walk away appreciating the beauty that’s ahead and get fired up to go for your dreams!

Chip Says: You’re Not Too F***ing Old! To f***! (yes, he said it!)
