With Chip Conley

This week’s guest – Chip Conley – takes me back full circle to my time at the University of Pennsylvania where I studied applied psychology in graduate school.  I remember reading Chip’s book, Emotional Equations, and thinking that everything I thought I knew about well-being and happiness needed to be re-calibrated.  What I really love about Chip is that his books are not academic tombs with no relevance.  They are grounded in his experience as a hotelier entrepreneur for 26 years and more recently, as a strategic advisor to the founders of Airbnb.

Chip has a brand-new book, Wisdom at Work – launching in Sept.  It’s a great read on how you can leverage wisdom that comes from experience to stay relevant at work or to pivot to something new and different.  This was such a fun conversation, full of insights and concrete habits we can adopt … you don’t want to miss it!

In our conversation Chip and I will be discussing:

• The most important lesson he learned from starting a boutique hotel in a run-down inner-city motel … at just 26 years old.


• How AirBnB shaped his views on experience and wisdom in the workplace


• What you can do now to leverage your own wisdom and experience at work


• The most effective habits and practices you can cultivate to achieve success


• Book recommendations to help us connect with our meaning and improve our happiness


• And so much more!
