yeah yeah um i would just like to say hi oprah hi yeah and hi professor brooks hi liam how are you nice to see you yeah so good to be um yeah so good to see you again um i've just been really enjoying listening to this conversation it's been very insightful but i'm a two-time olympic medalist um harvard mba grad of course where i took leadership and happiness
And I've been able to achieve a lot of these accomplishments just through a combination of being goal-oriented and relentless and historically driven by a need to prove myself.
I decided to get my MBA after I retired from swimming because I was like, great, I'm an Olympian, but now what?
So let me go to business school to have them tell me what I should do and to also prove to the corporate world that I'm more than an athlete.
But I realized that as graduation neared and with the catalyst of Professor Brooks' class, it ultimately comes back to you to decide for yourself what you're going to do.
So many of us like at HBS or go to HBS to check a box and
to have Harvard as that branding on our resume because it seems like it's something we should do.
So my biggest takeaway from Arthur's class is being intentional and taking my career and my life into my own hands, rooted in frameworks that make it more manageable to reflect and make these decisions for yourself and to not just accept life as something happening to you, but something that you have full agency in shaping.
Yeah, so my question is, I love how you both are so sure in your calling.
I guess, how do you translate everything that you've accomplished so far and even suffered through?
I know, Arthur, that's one of the topics that you've covered as well, like meeting through suffering.
Don't waste your suffering.
Right.
How have you channeled all that into your calling, into your next step?
What did that thought process look like?
No more presentation.
Is badness hereditary?
And finally, we'll meet Rosamund.
If it wasn't for the air where Ella lived, she wouldn't have died on that fatal night.
you're supposed to be safe that's your home that's your husband
