TGM Classic | Chip Conley | Navigating Change and How to Let Go Of the Things that Are Holding You Back

Why is it that we find it harder to accept and adapt to change as we grow older? A person's fear of change can originate from a lot of things, including their childhood experiences, familial views, personal outlooks, and even just the way they are programmed for life. Chip Conley, hospitality entrepreneur, bestselling author, and speaker, shares with us his distilled wisdom on navigating change and mid-life. At the age of 50, Chip found himself transitioning from being the CEO of Joeie de Vivre (JdV) for 24 years to answering his calling. In this episode, Darius and Chip talk about the phases of transition and how to navigate the “messy middle,” why you strive for long-life learning and not life-long learning, and how to deal with identity and self-worth issues while transitioning. Topics include: The three stages of transition The difference between transition and change The challenges of transitioning and going through changes What inspired Chip to establish Modern Elder Academy (MEA) What is MEA, what they do, and what they offer Benefits of letting go of emotional baggage How does Chip see MEA 10 years from now Distinguishing between a calling and workaholism And other topics… Resources mentioned: Emotional Equations: https://www.amazon.com/Emotional-Equations-Creating-Happiness-Business/dp/1451607261 Connect with Chip: Website: https://chipconley.com/ Website: https://wisdomwell.modernelderacademy.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chipconleysf/ Connect with Darius: Website: https://therealdarius.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dariusmirshahzadeh/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imthedarius/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Thegreatnessmachine Book: The Core Value Equation https://www.amazon.com/Core-Value-Equation-Framework-Limitless/dp/1544506708
