Chip Conley, NYT Best-Selling Author, Multiple TED Speaker

Today, my guest is Chip Conley, a three-time TED speaker and one of the world’s leading experts at the intersection of business innovation, psychology and spirituality. As one of the creators of the boutique hotel movement and the “modern elder” to the young Airbnb founders, Chip’s been a disruptor and expert on entrepreneurship and business leadership.

But what sets Chip apart as a speaker is the fact that he’s written 7 popular books and is a globally-recognized thought leader on the future of work, the value of corporate culture, and the competitive advantage of a multi-generational workplace. 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, Chip founded Modern Elder Academy (MEA), the world’s first “midlife wisdom school.”
