Ep. #323: Strauss Zelnick on Becoming Ageless, Dauntless, and Limitless

Today’s guest is Strauss Zelnick, who’s known in the Fortune 500 circles as the “world’s fittest CEO.”

At 61 years old, Strauss maintains a two-a-day workout schedule while running the media juggernaut Take-Two Interactive, which has given us blockbuster video game franchises likeGrand Theft Auto,Red Dead Redemption, andNBA 2K, as well as his private equity firm, Zelnick Media Capital, which has about $12 billion in assets.

Oh and Strauss also has managed to do all of that while also being a husband to his wife of nearly 30 years and father to his three children, which is no small feat, either.

As you can tell, I’m kind of a fan of Strauss’. You just don’t get to meet people like him very often.

So, in this interview, Strauss talks about his upcoming book calledBecoming Ageless, which is his personal blueprint for looking and feeling young and vibrant at any age, as well as his thoughts on a number of topics, including work-life balance, goal setting and achievement, key life lessons learned, and more.

I hope you enjoy it.
