Khe Hy is the Founder and CEO of RadReads, an online education company that helps professionals lead productive, examined and joyful lives. He used to be one of the youngest managing directors at Blackrock, outperforming other teams by teaching his analysts GTD. Now he teaches the popular cohort-based course Supercharge Your Productivity, using productivity as a trojan horse for existential inquiry.
Khe is enchantingly candid and conspicuously kind. In this conversation, his presence gave me the permission to be more honest with myself. It will likely do the same for you.
Topics include:
* How Khe went from high-powered Wall Street MD to professional blogger, teacher and online creator
* How “fuck it” moments tend to improve people’s lives (e.g. quitting your job)
* How Khe’s team at Blackrock outperformed others because he taught them GTD
* Why being a “tinkerer” is an insane competitive advantage
* How having kids has radical effects on your experience of time
* How samskaras (persistent emotional patterns) dictate your life and what to do about them
* How to use the Enneagram test to identify your childhood wounds
* Why “emotional solvency” is the real obstacle to financial freedom
* Golden handcuffs and the fragility of never seeing your bank account go down
