Don't Save It for the Funeral: The Power of a Social Eulogy

Don't wait until it's too late to tell someone what they mean to you.

In this inspiring Wisdom Wednesday episode, Chip Conley joins host Derek Gehl to share a powerful idea that could change the way we celebrate the people we love: the social eulogy. Instead of waiting until a funeral, why not tell people the impact they've had on your life while they're still here to hear it?

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why we struggle to express appreciation when it matters most.
• The difference between a living funeral and a social eulogy.
• How anticipating loss can help you live with fewer regrets.
• Why meaningful human connection is more important than ever in the age of AI.
• A simple challenge you can put into practice today.
