Today Arnold Schwarzenegger shares tales from his extraordinary life, how he reached the pinnacle of success in three different careers, and why his 4th act is leveraging his influence to forge a better world.

The occasion for this conversation is the publication of his new book, Be Useful—a primer on the principles that catapulted him into a generational icon and why service is the path to meaning and purpose.

This conversation covers the vision, work ethic, and salesmanship that Arnold deployed to become the world’s greatest bodybuilder, the top-grossing action star in Hollywood, and the highest elected official in California.

We discuss reinvention, the importance of selling yourself, and how giving back became his paramount focus.

We go deep on how he thinks about the influence he wields—and why usefulness and positivity are the antidotes to unhappiness and apathy.

Arnold also shares thoughts on confidence, ego, and leadership. Why his friendship with James Cameron is so special—and how it led to Arnold’s work as a passionate environmentalist.

Not to be missed, Arnold also tells the amazing story of how a giant bust of Lenin ended up in his office.

Recorded in Arnold’s office—a museum of extraordinary artifacts—this is a must-WATCH episode.

Open and vulnerable, this is the Governator like you’ve never before seen or heard him.

Enjoy!
