Summary

If you're in or approaching mid-life and feeling a bit invisible, you might be under valuing one of the most important things you bring to the table: experience.

Enter my guest, Chip Conley, who reminds us: Digital skills are will fade or evolve over time. Human skills such as good judgement, specialized knowledge, ability to collaborate and coach never expire.

Chip is the hospitality maverick and NYT bestselling author who disrupted his favorite industry... twice. At age 26 he founded Joie de Vivre Hospitality (JdV), transforming an inner-city motel into the second largest boutique hotel brand in America. He sold JdV after running it as CEO for 24 years, and soon the young founders of Airbnb asked him to help transform their promising start-up into the world’s leading hospitality brand.

Chip has written five books at the intersection of psychology and business. In his recent book, Wisdom@Work: The Making of a Modern Elder where he shares his unexpected journey at midlife and inspires us to embrace wisdom as a path to growing whole, not old.

Enjoy!

0:19.0	Like so many of these ideas are digitally oriented.
0:23.1	It's about technology now to integrate it in your life. And I get it. I understand why they get
0:28.4	a lot of attention and, you know, some of it's probably justifiable. But there's a really strong
0:33.3	POV that I have and that's, I think, emerging more in mainstream where, you know, digital skills might
0:40.4	just have the shelf life of the latest fad or the latest gadget. But what really matters is
0:48.5	human skills, soft skills and the core elements that underpin what I consider to be experience and

1:02.8	really specific knowledge, the ability to collaborate and coach to be a mentor and a mentee?
1:10.9	These are soft human skills.

1:44.3	of today's show because these are skills that we would, I would suggest you run at these human
1:50.6	connective soft skills that our guest today is talking about. And if you are mid career or midlife or
1:57.5	looking to reinvent yourself in any way, then all this stuff is really going to
