Description

Being who you were meant to be Vs. Choosing who you get to be. There is a lot of content about finding yourself. There is also a lot of content about success and greatness and how brilliant leaders forged a new path or "Put a dent in the Universe"... What if we are thinking about it completely wrong? In this episode, we explore different ways of thinking about success and the common connections between ideas and people who break out and defy the odds. From Hitler to Haribo and Jesus to Radiohead we look into some timeless lessons from history to make better sense of the world around us and ourselves.
