I love that Dave when I want to go down the paranoid rabbit hole and things are good. It's I called Dave just to remind me everything's bad, right Dave? Yeah. Whenever Matt is feeling too good, he knows who to call. He knows how to act at the ballast in his life. Man, I still think about that a lot. You know how many people in my life were like the one time you had to be fucking right?Yeah. The hon is real Dave. We know this. We know we're not imagining it.

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.
