In this episode, New York Times bestselling author and Modern Elder Academy founder Chip Conley sits down with host Alexia Brue to reframe aging as a powerful phase of reinvention. Drawing from his work with Airbnb and MEA, Chip explores how emotional resilience, community, and \u201clife literacy\u201d can become the true metrics of a long, meaningful life. With wit and wisdom, he challenges conventional career arcs and invites listeners to consider what a purposeful second (or third) act could look like.<\/p>\n<p>Beth McGroarty of the Global Wellness Institute also joins the conversation to share data on the demographic shifts driving this reframing of midlife. She unpacks how aging boomers are rejecting traditional retirement, how longevity is reshaping work itself, and why we need bold new models for connection, housing, and purpose in later life.<\/p>\n<div><strong>Inside this Episode:<\/strong><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why wisdom\u2014not youth\u2014may be the most undervalued longevity asset<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Emotional, cognitive, and social well-being as pillars of healthspan<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New rites of passage: why we need a midlife curriculum<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Modern Elder Academy and the future of multi-generational living<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beth McGroarty:<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Rise of \u201cDon\u2019t-Call-It-Senior-Living\u201d concepts like Mather, the wellness industry\u2019s opportunity to support older workers, and the economic imperative to reimagine purpose after 60<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why longevity solutions must go beyond biology to meaning, contribution, and community<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\" data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">\n<div data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">\n<div><strong>Resources Mentioned:<\/strong><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.modernelderacademy.com\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Modern Elder Academy<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalwellnessinstitute.org\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Global Wellness Institute<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.matherinstitute.com\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mather Institute<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hosted by: <strong>Alexia Brue<\/strong>, co-founder of <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well+Good<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">; founder of a new healthspan training studio, <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thepracticegreenwich.com\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Practice<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">; member of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/globalwellnessinstitute.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Global Wellness Institute<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Board of Advisors<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To learn more about the Global Wellness Institute please visit us at <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/globalwellnessinstitute.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">global wellness institute.org<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, connect with us on <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instagram<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and subscribe to our<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCCV2J3laUzGBFFTgnzQg8xQ\" rel=\"wpdevart_lightbox_video\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> YouTube<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> channel.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Produced by: <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Emily Roberts<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ali Alquiza<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.overlunch.co\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over Lunch\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Music provided by: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/myndstream.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Myndstream \u00a0 <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thank you to our sponsor, Fountain Life, for supporting the GWI Podcast. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Head to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/linkprotect.cudasvc.com\/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fwww.fountainlife.com%2f&amp;c=E,1,L3t4-TQi5mQK-NFM2b_nL25jqOObpwuA7QnqA_MUjeWPwSn6qT1UxkxEaTbXFasY_6xI-NnAeqBq0NRXa572CKdOe8G6cWOhHAVenliHJPmIeITc&amp;typo=1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FountainLife.com<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to learn more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><i>Subscribe, rate &amp; review wherever you listen to podcasts!\u00a0<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Wellness Roundtable Wisdom at Midlife and Beyond with Chip Conley Midlife isn\u2019t a crisis\u2014it\u2019s a calling.
