In today's episode, I talk to Kevin Kelly, co-founder of Wired magazine. Kevin is a writer, photographer, and philanthropist best known for his role as the executive editor of Wired, one of the top technology magazines in the world! He travels all over the world giving talks on things like the clock he built that will tick for 10,000 years, and why he's cataloging every living species on earth. Plus, he's a best-selling author of many books, and his latest one is out now! Check out Excellent Advice for Living for bits of advice Kevin wished he knew earlier in his life, and tweet-sized bits of wisdom. You can order it on Amazon right now! If you've ever wanted to learn about what EVERYONE'S life purpose is, you'll love this episode. In this conversation, you'll enjoy 3 BIG things: 1. Why you DON'T want to be great (greatness is overrated) 2. What actually stops people from succeeding (spoiler alert: it's NOT money) 3. The "immediacy filter" that defines his schedule Enjoy those 3 things… plus a bunch more ear nuggets along the way.
