Wisdom is not like physics. It's not something you teach. It's something you share.

I had no idea when I joined Airbnb that it was going to become a worldwide phenomenon and a huge successful company company and I did four years of full-time

work helping them steer the rocket ship.

I joined this place and all of a sudden I realized my God my job is to sort of support these guys

and help them be as successful as possible.

And I think the future of learning and development in companies is going to be based upon how

to you create mutual mentorship often across generations.

Find a wiser older person who's also curious because you may be able to

teach them something as well.

You're all right.

Over the next three or four months everything that could go wrong did go wrong in my life.

When I found out my friend Chip,

who was almost like my spiritual advisor

five minutes before going on stage

to give a very large speech

and found out he'd committed suicide.

Over the prior couple of months, I had been talking to Chip about how depressed I was.

It's part of the reason why the Modern Elder Academy is something to social enterprise,

60% of the people coming are on scholarship, all because I believe society is better off if we have intergenerational

collaboration and we help people in midlife realize that even when the walls are closing in on them,

there is something to be learned from it and on the other side you might become a butterfly. And then. Oh, Oh, You're going to be.
