How can your life experiences help you identify your career goals? In this episode, Ryan brings us the story of serial entrepreneur John Henry. John started out as a doorman in New York City, but soon ended up on the Forbes 30 under 30 list. He's built and sold a reportedly million dollar business, become a venture capitalist and host of the Vice show 'Hustle' and co-founded a car insurance company, just to name a few. John explains how his roots help him identify what’s important in his career, and how to flip what you've got for what you want. Then, renowned thought leader Nilofer Merchant explains her theory of “onlyness” – decoding how your life experiences can add value and help you generate big ideas.
