Real Talk for Event Pros Who Do It All—And Still Show Up #fit4events™. Sponsored and Produced by Tree-Fan Events Production.
Host Anca Platon Trifan interviews John K. Coyle, CEO of The Art of Really Living and an Olympic silver medalist, about chronoception, why experienced time is non-linear and how memory shapes whether life feels “long” or vanishes. Coyle argues that memories are the currency of time: routine, safe days often aren’t written into memory, while risk, novelty, emotional and physical intensity, beauty, and flow create lasting “before-and-after” kairos moments. He introduces “time capital,” comparing time investments to financial portfolios, and shares examples of designing unforgettable experiences for family and groups. The conversation also covers resilience (movement, social connection, physical touch, and “gamifying” stress), the importance of designing for strengths after age 25, and how small moments can change life trajectories.00:00 Why Time Disappears01:40 Meet John Coyle04:27 Moments Shape Lives06:41 Chronoception Explained09:42 Memories As Currency15:47 Time Capital Investing18:39 Rituals And Quadrants23:56 Designing Unforgettable Moments26:36 Six Memory Triggers28:21 Event Design Examples32:47 Privilege And Uncertainty37:43 Kairos Life Changing Moments40:58 Surprises And Anticipation44:18 Resilience Without Suffering46:00 Resilience Basics47:15 Top Stress Recovery49:10 Touch And Pets52:51 Gamify Your Stress01:03:18 Strengths Over Weaknesses01:04:56 Design For Strength01:16:56 Leadership And Bias01:19:16 Kairos Turning Points01:24:16 Practical Leader Habits01:26:47 Closing And Resources
