The Decade Game That Can Transform Your Future | Carolyn Buck Luce

Many people reach midlife feeling successful on paper but disconnected from themselves.

In this conversation, Chip Conley talks with Carolyn Buck Luce about what it actually looks like to rebuild your life in your 40s, 50s, 60s, and beyond. Carolyn opens up about leaving Wall Street, going through a very public personal crisis, redefining ambition, and creating the “Decade Game”, a simple but powerful way to think about who you want to become over the next 10 years.

They talk about:

  • Why purpose often starts showing up earlier than we realize
  • What happens when you stop compartmentalizing your life
  • Why many women feel more confident and free in midlife
  • How imagining your future self changes your decisions today
  • The difference between wishful thinking and thoughtful wishing

This is one of those conversations that feels honest, grounding, and surprisingly energizing, especially if you’ve been feeling the pull toward a new chapter.

Watch now and think about the person you want to become next.
