Friendship as a Practice: For Your Wellbeing and Longevity

Join Jeff, Christine, and our new CEO Derek Gehl for a special discussion on why friendship is the most important practice for boosting your wellbeing and longevity. They’ll share some of MEA’s most surprising discoveries about how friendship impacts our lives and help you start to think of friendship less as something that “just happens” and more as a practice that you can work on for the rest of your life – for a better life.

During our discussion we will explore…

  • Why is friendship so important? Especially for men.
  • What is your friendship story?
  • Discover your friendship style
  • Define your friendships 5 / 50
  • Set your friendship goal for 2025

Plus we will be releasing Jeff’s new publication on Friending, which you will be able to download for free.

Life Reimagined: Unlocking the Power of Purpose

August 6, 2025 12:00 PM PT 03:00 PM ET

What if purpose isn’t something you chase but something you live, one moment at a time?

World-renowned purpose pioneer Richard Leider joins MEA’s Kari Cardinale for an inspiring conversation about how to move from asking “What’s next?” to “What really matters?”

Drawing from decades of coaching, research, and his own lived experience, Richard shares how everyday choices — what he calls “little p” purpose — can lead to big shifts in how we live, age, and connect. You’ll hear why purpose is essential not just for meaning, but for well-being and longevity, and how to begin reconnecting with it now, no matter your stage of life.

If you’re standing at a crossroads and craving clarity, this conversation is your invitation to start living on purpose.

Join the Radiant Rebellion & Reclaim Aging

August 26, 2025 12:00 PM PT 03:00 PM ET

Join the Radiant Rebellion: Embracing Aging as Your Personal Revolution

Award-winning author and attorney Karen Walrond – featured guest on The Oprah Winfrey Show – joins us to expose the billion-dollar lie that’s made an entire generation fear their own future.

After helping thousands find purpose as “lightmakers,” Karen discovered something shocking: our culture’s anti-aging obsession isn’t just misguided – it’s manufactured by industries that profit from our fear.

The science reveals what cultures throughout history have always known: happiness actually increases in midlife. Yet we’ve been programmed to dread each birthday instead of celebrating the wisdom, freedom, and power that accumulates with age.

In this provocative live session, Karen talks with MEA’s Kari Cardinale about how to dismantle decades of conditioning and reclaim aging as the life-enriching adventure it was meant to be. Discover what your own “radiant rebellion” looks like.

CoGeneration: Thriving in an Age-Integrated World

September 9, 2025 12:00 PM PT 03:00 PM ET

What if your most powerful years aren’t behind you but just beginning?

In this timely and energizing conversation, How to Live Forever author and CoGenerate founder Marc Freedman joins MEA’s Kari Cardinale to explore a bold new vision of aging, one where generations don’t just coexist… they collaborate.

Marc reveals how modern life has quietly siloed us by age and why breaking out of those bubbles can unlock deeper purpose, unexpected creativity, and a renewed sense of belonging.

Together, they dive into practical, inspiring ways to build a life that bridges generations, with wisdom flowing both ways.

Because your experience doesn’t just matter, it might be exactly what the world needs right now.
