Chip Conley

Rebel Entrepreneur, Author, Founder of Modern Elder Academy
Chip has a unique ability to distil complex ideas to powerful and concise insights. I have learned so much from his many books, TED talks and articles then, in recent years, as a friend and guide, particularly through the Modern Elder Academy.

Key takeaways:
The less Meaning we find, the more we feel Suffering, so, in these current times, “make meaning”
In the pandemic, Chip’s choice has been to ask himself “what and I learning”, so creating meaning.
We then spoke at length about Wisdom, about “Knowing”, about Intuition.
Another topic we reflected on was around how, as we get older, perhaps we can choose to invest in what feels deep, meaningful, brings happiness and joy. Chip is writing a white paper around “The Emergence of Long Life Learning”, flipping the language of “life long” to learning centred on a long life.

Books by Chip discussed: Wisdom at Work, Peak, Emotional Equations, Rebel Rules
Despair = Suffering – Meaning is an Emotional Equations derived from Viktor Frankl, author of Man’s Search for Meaning
