Mel Robbins

So grab your seat because class is in session.

It's time to design your life.

Hey, it's your friend Mel, and welcome to the Mel Robbins Podcast.

I'm thrilled to be here, and I'm excited that you're here too.

It's such an honor to be together to spend this time with you, but I'm super excited about what's about to happen.

And if you're a new listener or you're here because somebody shared this with you,

I just wanna take a moment and personally welcome you to the Mel Robbins Podcast family.

I cannot wait for you to meet two professors from Stanford University who are here in our Boston studios to walk you through how you can design the life you want.

The lessons that they've learned from teaching one of the most popular courses in the world for more than two decades are gonna change everything.

Dave Evans and Bill Burnett are the founders of the Life Design Lab at Stanford University.

They're also the creators of the Designing Your Life course at Stanford, which has been taught for almost 20 years and is now being taught at over 600 universities.

But long before they were teaching life design,

For decades, Bill and Dave, they were designing products and leading teams at startups and Fortune 100 companies across Silicon Valley.

Bill Burnett earned his bachelor's and master's degrees in product design at Stanford.

He worked at Apple in the early days designing their laptops.

He also worked on the team that designed the original Star Wars action figures.

Today, he's a professor in mechanical engineering and design at Stanford.

Dave Evans also earned his bachelor's and master's degrees in mechanical engineering at Stanford.

He also went on to work for Apple.

And while Bill was designing laptops, Dave was leading the team that created their very first computer mouse.
