Chip Conley

Chip Conley joined the tiny tech start-up Airbnb nearly a decade ago after a successful career as a boutique hotel company founder and CEO. He was twice the age of the average Airbnb employee which earned him the title "Airbnb's Modern Elder" who was as curious as he was wise. As the internal mentor to the young Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky, Chip got to see the value of intergenerational collaboration in a company that has now grown to be the most valuable hospitality company in the world. His bestselling book "Wisdom@Work: The Making of a Modern Elder" is a testament to rethinking the value of having 5 generations in the workplace and why more companies are doing their best to encourage their older workers to stay in the workplace longer. Chip's Modern Elder Academy has more than 3,000 alumni from 42 countries and 26 regional chapters globally who've come to the Mexican beachfront campus. MEA will be opening two campuses in Santa Fe, New Mexico soon.

Dr. Joel Bennett, Become A Connoisseur of Time

Join Rabbi Rami Shapiro as he interviews spiritual teachers, health experts, authors, and more from the pages of Spirituality + Health Magazine.

Rabbi Rami is the best, and all the guests are diverse and informative. I’m always left feeling inspired. Just wish the episodes were longer but the short and sweet is easy to consume. Highly recommend!

All time favorite podcast

Rabbi Rami effortlessly hosts authentic conversations with a rich variety of teachers, activists, artists and other thinkers and doers. Some of my favorite episodes don’t feature spirituality gurus but people that understand life, the universe and the soul through a unique lens like music, nature, war or science. Every episode expands my mind and heart, even when I think it won’t.
