He Built the Green Building Movement. Then His Life Fell Apart | David Gottfried

October 19, 2026

David Gottfried (0:00)

Let it out, face the fear, and even if it blows up, and I've had pretty good crashes, you find yourself, you find your breath, and you can find peace there, and you can let go. You let go, you don't die, and you can find quiet and even enough.

But if you hold so tight and don't face the truth, you won't be yourself, and you won't have these transformations, you won't awaken to become.

SPEAKER_2 (0:34)

Welcome to the Midlife Chrysalis Podcast with Chip Conley, where we explore how midlife isn't a crisis, but a chrysalis, a time of profound transformation that can lead to the most meaningful chapter of your life.

Chip Conley (0:50)

Welcome to the Midlife Chrysalis, this is Chip Conley, and I am so excited to have a friend of mine for almost 50 years, David Gottfried joining me for this episode. David was the co-founder of the US. Green Building Council, which created the LEED certification globally. 184 countries now have LEED certification…

And at the end, I'll tell you about my three key lessons from this. Also just note that David's new book, Regen 360 is coming out October 20th. Highly recommend you order that or preorder that on Amazon, or not Amazon, Burns and Noble. Go to your local bookstore, however you buy books.
