#408 Michael Yang: An Open-Ended Pilgrimage
The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes “Michael’s life is a testament to the truth that adventure is not a destination, but a way of being. It doesn’t wait for holidays or perfect plans—it whispers from Arctic backroads and echoes through Silicon Valley boardrooms. It lives in the hearts of those bold enough to say, simply, ‘Let’s do this.’” Michael’s story offers a roadmap for anyone seeking meaning beyond their resume and proving that the sixties are the perfect time for radical new beginnings.

#405 Larry Kesslin: Why Do Driven People End Up Unhappy?
The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes Today we are chatting with Larry Kesslin, entrepreneur and philosopher of life. Larry writes this… “My life changed in 2012 during a trip to Africa. I went there to bring computers to rural villages in eastern and northern Uganda, but what I found was something much deeper. I met people who had very little in a material way, yet they were joyful, connected, and full of purpose. “Their way of living opened my eyes and made me rethink everything I believed about success and happiness. I wanted to understand one thing: Why are so many successful people unhappy?” Let’s...

#400AshPerrow-Heart
The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes #400 Ash Perrow: Working from the Heart Today with my guest Ash Perrow, I release my 400th podcast episode. When I began this project, I had no idea where this journey would lead — only that I felt called to speak, reflect, and explore what matters most. Very few podcasts ever reach 400 episodes. I read that fewer than 1% of all podcasts reach 400 episodes. The real milestone, however, isn’t the number of shows. It’s the conversations, the growth, and the community that has formed along the way. At this time, I especially want to thank you for listening and thinking with me....
info_outlineOur conversation today is with Molli Ezio, who goes by Ezio. Ezio is co-owner of one of the most famous restaurants in Northern Italy named La Darsena. Located in Lake Como, it is about as far north as you can get in Italy. The setting here is enchanting—a lake surrounded by dozens of magnificent little breathtaking Italian villages. In fact, George Clooney, Richard Branson, and Mark Zuckerberg all own villas here.
Molli Ezio, has led an industrious life, owning 6 hotels and restaurants in Lake Como only to realize that a 16 hour work-day didn’t allow him to be the kind of father he wanted to be to his children. So he eventually downsized to just one restaurant and hotel, La Darsena in Tremezzo, Lake Como.
In this interview Charlie and Ezio talk about the importance of family from a personal Italian point of view. And then we discuss the constant seasonal changes required to operate a world-class restaurant.
Please note that English is Ezio’s second language. Sometimes communication between the two becomes an adventure in translation. All the more fun!
