SPECIAL THANKS TO CORPORATE TRAVEL, PRODUCERS OF THE GOOD NEWS CONFERENCE for making this interview possible. To learn more visit www.GoodNewsConference.com.

If your world was ROCKED by Part One of my interview with the legendary Arthur Brooks, get ready for Part Two!

We dive into the book Arthur wrote during COVID, Strength to Strength. In it, he talks about the second half of life—the part where we move from being the “doers” to being the “teachers.” For so many of us, this elicits fear, anxiety, and the sudden urge to buy a sports car, but it doesn’t have to! While our decline (physical and cognitive) IS inevitable, the way we handle it and use this stage of our lives to glorify God is totally up to us.

We talk about fluid intelligence (the first half) vs. crystallized intelligence (the second half), why being a grandparent is AWESOME, how we can make the most of the rest of our lives, what Arthur has learned from Buddhist monks, and MORE. This episode is so packed with wisdom, whether you are in this phase of life (like me) or not, our conversation is a fantastic way to reframe our views on aging and help you to better love and honor those in your life who are in this phase.
