Recently, I invited an experienced luxury hotelier to visit the new campus we were building near Santa Fe for Modern Elder Academy, the midlife wisdom school I co-founded in 2018. Looking out at the 2,566-acre site, he remarked, You're quite a risktaker. He's not wrong, but his tone was more cautionary than it was cheerleading. My entrepreneurial balloon of confidence popped.
I went for a long walk after that meeting. Could he be right? I worried. Am I a lunatic? I had so much invested in growing the business, which to me is a calling. This new campus was supposed to show a U.S. proof of concept after the success of our Baja campus. Was it too much, too soon?
Throughout my career, people have called me a risk-taker. They were shocked when, at 26, I bought a bankrupt motel in San Francisco's Tenderloin neighborhood and turned it into the beginnings of my boutique hotel company, Joie de Vivre. They said I was nuts to join the Airbnb founders as their in-house mentor back before home sharing was popular. And with Modern Elder Academy, they told me there was no precedent for a luxury retreat center dedicated to reframing our relationship with aging.
