Join What's neXT50 for an inspiring and thought-provoking conversation between Chip Conley, the world’s leading expert on the power of elderhood, and Alison Smith, the award-winning CBC news anchor and journalist, as Chip takes us through the ideas in his latest book, The Midlife Manifesto.

What Chip will have to say is of extraordinary relevance and value to anyone considering how to live a longer life with purpose before, during or after their traditional working years. He has become one of the best-known and most provocative advocates for changing perspectives on what it means to get and be older, through his books, TED Talks, the Modern Elder Academy and the support he has given fellow longevity advocates.

Chip is debunking anti-aging myths and helping to reframe “elderhood” as a time of reinvention and cultivation of your life experiences. While many still speak of the burden of the old, Chip speaks passionately about the value of wisdom and experience and how we all need to think about how we can be useful, not youthful. As he puts it, it’s time to put away the anti-aging creams and create pro-aging dreams. In his view, the opportunities we have as we attain our elder years are limitless, and the reset he describes is a compelling way for each of us to determine our own Future of Worth™.
