About this listen
You checked all the boxes… so why does something still feel off?
In this episode, Chip Conley and Derek Gehl explore what happens when success stops feeling like success, and why so many people hit this wall in midlife. And what you can do when you get there.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
- The 3 questions that reveal your true direction
- Why achievement alone doesn’t lead to fulfillment
- The hidden trap of defining success through work
- Why relationships matter more than you think
- How to start redefining success in a way that actually feels good
If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking “is this really it?”, you’re not the only one.
