I think there's no one in the world who hasn't experienced their own version of hardship, right? That's like making a value judgment about what magnitude of hardship feels hard. So again, I'm trying not to judge the world through my own prism because a lot of dysfunction came out the other side of what I went through that took me years and years and years to recover from still is. And so why would I want what's wrong with having a more a more typical life?
Dave and Chris examine the systems and criteria we use to decide who we think is going to be a winner, whether that is in sports, business, music, or beauty pageants, and why they're such terrible predictors of success. Then, they invite Matt Higgins, venture capitalist and executive fellow at Harvard Business School, to ask about what he looks for to predict success, hear about his incredible life story, and talk about his new book, ‘Burn the Boats: Toss Plan B Overboard and Unleash Your Full Potential.’ Other topics include ‘Physical: 100,’ rooting for the underdog, the original ‘Ninja Warrior,’ Brock Purdy, useless high school extracurriculars, and choosing the difficult path.
