Chip Conley, acclaimed for his rare blend of curiosity and wisdom, has not just excelled as a “Modern Elder” but also embraced this role wholeheartedly. Over seven pivotal years, he was instrumental in steering Airbnb towards its IPO, serving four years in a full-time capacity and three and a half years part-time. In the midst of these endeavors, Chip retreated to Baja for inspiration and authored "Wisdom at Work: The Making of a Modern Elder." During a reflective beach run, the "Baja Aha" moment struck, igniting the concept of a revolutionary retreat for midlife transformation. Acting on this insight, he founded the Modern Elder Academy (MEA), the first learning sanctuary of its kind, dedicated to empowering individuals in midlife to rediscover and reshape their futures.
