Summary
Today, I'm talking to Lux Narayan. Lux is an author, entrepreneur, stand-up comedian, and storyteller. We first discovered Lux through his TED Talk, What I Learned From 2000 Obituaries. From there, we learned about his work as the founder of StreamAlive, where he helps livestreamers and storytellers engage, in-person or online, with AI-powered SaaS.
In our conversation, we discuss his new book Name, Place, Animal, Thing: An Inspiring Fable For Grownups About Hope, Positivity, and Living Your Best Life, in which he weaves a fable for adults about life transitions full of wisdom–especially as it relates to retirement.
You'll learn why Lux believes in the beauty of being a generalist, what inspired him to write this book, and how it changed his life during a time of great personal and professional uncertainty. You'll also discover a few things we can do at every stage of life to live a kinder, grounded, and deeper existence.

In this podcast interview, you'll learn:
- Why people who have been laser-focused on one thing for 30, 40, or 50 years have such a hard time in retirement.
- How Lux's pursuit of so many different skills has proven valuable and interconnected over the course of his career.
- New ways to answer the question: "So, what do you do?"
- Why so many retirees think they're going to travel far more than they actually do–and the beauty of going near and narrow, rather than far out into the world.
- The beauty of living a life of curiosity, humility, and empathy.
