The Next Big Idea

CHAPTER

The Founder and the Club

This chapter delves into how Ben Franklin initiated the Leather Apron Club in his early 20s for philosophical discussions and self-improvement, leading to the establishment of the Next Big Idea Club. It explores Eric's life lessons derived from Franklin's routine, such as reflecting on essential questions at the start and end of each day, and how Franklin's focus on virtues and self-awareness through a pocket notebook influenced the speakers' own introspection on their behaviors.
