Jonathan Fields: I'm so excited to share Dave Evans with you, his ideas and of course a whole bunch of tools out of his new book. He says he's been working to try to get rid of that stupidity for a long, long time. And this outfit called the Center for Faith in Work in New York actually works on the early hurts. We have radically different world views and almost identical work views, which turns out to be a fabulous partnership.

Today’s guest, Dave Evans, is a lecturer at the famed Stanford d.School a theological scholar and management consultant. He is also a man on a mission to explore what it means to spend time designing your life.

As an early team-member at Apple, he led product marketing for the mouse and introduced laser printing to the masses.

He then joined gaming behemoth, Electronic Arts, as employee #2, before leaving to help start-up teams, corporate executives, non-profit leaders, and countless young adults build amazing ventures.

Along the way, he realized they were all asking the same question. “What should I do with my life?” Helping people get traction on that question finally took develop a groundbreaking course that applies design thinking to life, where he introduced the concept designing your life to students at Berkeley and then Stanford.

His latest book, Designing Your Life: How to Build a Well-lived, Joyful Life, walks you through the entire, step-by-step process.
