The Story of Success
Malcolm Gladwell
In 'Outliers: The Story of Success', Malcolm Gladwell examines the often-overlooked factors that contribute to high levels of success. He argues that success is not solely the result of individual talent or hard work, but rather is influenced by a complex web of advantages and inheritances, including cultural background, family, generation, and luck. The book delves into various examples, such as the success of Bill Gates, the Beatles, and Canadian ice hockey players, to illustrate how these factors play a crucial role. Gladwell also discusses the '10,000-hour rule' and the impact of cultural legacies on behavior and success. The book is divided into two parts: 'Opportunity' and 'Legacy', each exploring different aspects of how success is achieved and maintained.
Bowhunter, endurance athlete, and Keep Hammering Collective host Cameron Hanes is back on the show — and this time, he’s preparing for one of the hardest races in the world: Cocodona 250.
We dive into the mindset, obsession, and sacrifice it takes to show up day after day for something that pushes you past your limits. Cam talks about the release of his new book Undeniable, the cost of being an outlier, and why real growth starts where comfort ends. He shares lessons from a lifetime of running, training, and suffering — both planned and unexpected — and how that pain sharpens purpose.
