My guest this week, James Rhee, has had an extraordinary path through life.
With a Harvard Law degree, he chose to become a middle school teacher. From there, James switched careers to join one of Boston's most prestigious private equity firms.
His leadership star rose through his transformative leadership at Ashley Stewart, a company on the brink of collapse. During a solitary six-month struggle, he fought tirelessly to avoid liquidation, eventually dedicating seven years to revitalizing the business.
Through his work, James champions a vision where kindness and compassion are integral to leadership, advocating for a life where work is just one sustainable aspect of overall joy.
We discuss:
- The moment he learned the meaning of kindness
- The real meaning of assets and liabilities
- Small 'p' product vs big 'P' product
- Kindness, Goodwill, and Math
- Applying counterpoint in business
