What I Learned About Life Interviewing 80 Highly Successful People

“If I wanted to talk about ‘Star Wars,’ I called the author of a dozen Star Wars novels. If I wanted to talk about Twisted Sister, I called up the founder of the band. If I wanted to talk sex I called the women who ran the ‘Ask Women’ podcast. I wanted to know at what point were they at their worst. And how they got better. Each person created a unique life. I wanted to know how they did it. I was insanely curious. Here are the most important things I learned. I can’t specify which person I learned what from. It hurts my head when I think about it because many of the 80 said the exact same thing about how they ended up where they were.”
