In this episode, I speak with Jason Feifer, the Editor-in-Chief of Entrepreneur magazine. We discuss the constant evolution of technology and its impact on society, a theme Jason explores deeply through his professional and personal experiences.

Jason shared insights on how historical technological advancements, like the telegraph, were perceived as transformative in their time, much like the internet and AI today. The conversation also covered the importance of adapting to change and the potential personal growth that can come from unexpected challenges.

Jason shared a personal anecdote about how a difficult lawsuit, which initially seemed like a career setback, inadvertently steered him towards a more stable and rewarding path. This experience underscored his message about the importance of resilience and adaptability in both personal and professional life.

Join us as we explore his perspective on viewing change as an opportunity rather than a threat. His approach to life and career challenges serves as a valuable lesson for anyone looking to navigate the complexities of modern work environments and technological advancements.

Tweetable Quotes

"Life feels like it's changing because it's only relative to what we were familiar with growing up. But every time in modern history is a time of great change. Some of those times were more transformative than the ones we're going through now."

"Develop a mission statement for yourself that is not anchored to something easily changeable. For example, instead of 'I am a magazine editor,' mine is 'I tell stories in my own voice.' This helps identify your transferable value and understand who you are in times of change."

"Life is not linear; it's reactive. We often fear that a new thing will destroy us... Instead, what we do is react in ways that may not have made sense before whatever new input came along. This reaction can ping us in a completely different direction, potentially leading to new opportunities."
