Podcast Appearances
Those are all kind of things that could restrict this movement.
If you allow me to give you a little history of how or why I would say I spent six years turning the โ
the original presentation into a book.
And I had this thing I really wanted to achieve, which was to embed as much stories and narrative into it as possible.
And I was listening, I know you've had Morgan Housel on.
He's the absolute GOAT.
And he was on a podcast called Why We Write, talking about the power of narrative.
And so the book is divided.
It's structured unlike most books.
It's divided into two parts, but they interleave.
And so every other chapter is a Atlantic-size article about someone that started on the bottom rung with intention and made it to the top.
And the reason I wanted to include those is precisely for the reason Morgan talks about, which is I think these things stick in your brain more.
Like a lot of the books in the category that have done extremely well in career read like a textbook.
Do A, then do B, then do C. But they don't have this kind of spirituality to them that I think โ
can infect the brain a little bit more.
Yeah, so we have eight, nine, or 10, I should know the exact number, but I can't recall right now, of these profiles.
And I alternate them with the principles.
And
I always thought about it like candy and vegetables, you know, or something.
But you get some of both.
