Summary

Today Gay and Mike are interviewing one of their heroes. Someone whose wisdom they have great respect for, so needless to say, they've been looking forward to this one for a while. His name is Chip Conley. He’s a New York Times bestselling author and the hospitality maverick who helped Airbnb's founders turn their fast-growing tech start-up into a global hospitality brand. He’s also the founder of the Modern Elder Academy, where a new roadmap for midlife is offered at a beautiful oceanfront campus in Baja California Sur, Mexico. In today’s episode they'll talk about where you’ll find the greatest level of purpose in your life—plus Chip explains attaining versus attuning and atoning.

0:00.0	When I've been in the attainment mode, often afterwards I have to atone.
0:05.8	So attain leads to atone and attune leads to that one.
0:09.0	And maybe it's partly because I'm a Scorpio with my sun sign that I like the idea of regeneration
0:14.0	and being able to rise above.
0:17.6	Midway between 18 and 90 is 54.

1:22.2	And he'll go into what that means in this episode.
1:24.7	How about you, Chip?
1:25.4	What's the biggest takeaway that you have in this one?

1:33.5	So if you're 54, which is the average age of our people who come to the Modern Elder Academy,
