Career reinvention as we age requires letting go of the known to embrace the extraordinary that wants to emerge. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, AT 8 PM ET | 5 PM PT Hospitality entrepreneur and the founder of Modern Elder Academy, Chip Conley, will explore with Tami Simon one of the most paradoxical skills you need in life and in business: surrender as a strategic act. Drawing on decades of navigating career pivots and leadership transitions, Chip offers a fresh way of thinking about uncertainty—one where strategy and surrender aren’t opposites but partners. CHIP CONLEY, Airbnb Strategic Advisor, Founder of Joie de Vivre Hospitality + Modern Elder Academy, and New York Times bestselling author, is on a midlife mission. After disrupting the hospitality industry twice, first as the founder of Joie de Vivre Hospitality, the second-largest operator of boutique hotels in the U.S., and then as Airbnb’s Head of Global Hospitality and Strategy, leading a worldwide revolution in travel, Conley co-founded MEA (Modern Elder Academy) in January 2018 in Baja California, Mexico. Inspired by his experience of intergenerational mentoring as a ‘modern elder’ at Airbnb, where his guidance was instrumental to the company’s extraordinary transformation from fast-growing start-up to the world’s most valuable hospitality brand, MEA is the world's first ‘midlife wisdom school’ and has a campus opening on a 2,600-acre regenerative horse ranch in Santa Fe, New Mexico in early 2024. Dedicated to reframing the concept of aging, MEA supports students to navigate midlife with a renewed sense of purpose and possibility. InnerMBA ▶️ https://innermba.soundstrue.com/ LOOK WITHIN.
