In this episode of On Civility, 50-year attorney Paul Lipton and host Magie Ozarowski have an extremely profound conversation about the power of being able to define yourself, what it means to be the “tangible embodiment of the intangible concept” through your actions, and how to live agelessly.

This episode is deep and worth multiple listens.
