The notorious midlife crisis is that time in our lives when many of us ask: “whose life am I living?” For many, it can be an emotional roller coaster generating confusion, challenge, and mystery. We start to question the meaning of our life and what we really want out of it. It can be overwhelming to confront these questions. The good news is that it doesn’t need to be.

It turns out that a healthy injection of wisdom is a big part of the solution. This is precisely why we’re thrilled to welcome world renowned midlife and wisdom expert, Chip Conley, to this episode of Geeks Geezers and Googlization.

Among Chip’s many accomplishments, he’s the CEO and Founder of Modern Elder Academy - the world's first "midlife wisdom school," where attendees learn how to repurpose a lifetime of experience for the modern workplace. He’s also a NY Times best selling author including his most recent book, "Wisdom@Work: The Making of a Modern Elder." It’s a testament to rethinking the value of having five generations in the workplace and why more companies are doing their best to encourage their older workers to stay in the workplace longer.

Who should attend: Any one who wants midlife (at whatever age that is) to be fulfilling and filled with meaning instead of regret.
