How do you think about the potential outside of the organization, trends and styles that go in and out of favor? One of the things that is frustrating is that so many people fight the tape. They fight the wave.

In those different boxes, when you're building out a team to serve in this role, how do you think about aligning those people with the objectives?

If you circle all the way back to your early training at IBM, what were some of those seminal lessons you learned in that fantastic sales training program that have carried all the way through?

My guest on today's show is Josh Steiner, a polymath of the New York and DC power corridors across government, media, and finance, and co-author of From Mistakes to Meaning, Owning Your Past So It Doesn't Own You.
voice-verified
Josh rose to national prominence as the youngest ever chief of staff at the US Treasury in the Clinton administration, where he made a high profile mistake he unpacks in the book.
voice-verified
He pivoted to finance as a media investment banker and co-founder of private equity firm Quadrangle Group in 2000, worked as an operator at Bloomberg in the 2010s, has served on Yale's investment committee for nearly a decade, and five years ago returned to private equity as co-founder of SSW Partners, managing capital for a few families.
voice-verified
Our conversation focuses on mistakes, quite a contrast from other discussions on the podcast.
voice-verified
We kick it off with Josh's big mistake at Treasury and analyze the nature of mistakes and what happened to Josh.
voice-verified
We then turned to his mistakes in investing, across deals, managing an investment business, managing people, and serving on investment committees.
voice-verified
We close with frameworks to avoid mistakes and with Josh turning the table on me to discuss an impactful mistake I made that I've never discussed before.
voice-verified
Before we get going.

I recently did something I almost never do.
voice-verified
I went to the beach for the afternoon, sat and read.
voice-verified
A full Florida beach afternoon, chair, umbrella, sunscreen, the whole production.
voice-verified
The beach is awesome, and Florida is really awesome this time of year.
voice-verified
But my time in Florida is more like adult summer camp.
voice-verified
Tennis, golf, biking, walking, lots of activities.
