I was invited down to LA to go on my favorite podcast. If you don’t know The Rich Roll Podcast, well — you’re in for a treat. It’s often the #1 Education and #1 Self-Improvement podcast in the world for good reason. Rich is 10 years into conducting his unique and thoughtful longform conversations that tease open big ideas and examine ways of living better than anybody in the business.
In today’s short — 20-minute! — Bookmark I share the story of flying down for the show, play a little hello to 3 Bookers from Rich (and get his favorite part of the convo!), and then play a little snip of the chat.
This was the most in-depth longform chat I’ve had and with Rich’s masterful steering we discuss many new things like: what role the Indian-Pakistan partition played in my existence, the 2 tests to perform before making a career leap, what your 20s are really for, how I scared Leslie off after our first date, 2am lessons from McKinsey consultants, the 10-rock dresser calendar, our current thinking on the “Never Retire” philosophy, my reaction to Rich calling me an ‘automaton’ and telling me I live a ‘spreadsheet life’, what I learned from working with The Simpsons and Saturday Night Live writers, our advice for starting a podcast today, fast-food hiring best practices, the benefits and perils of being a big fish in a small pond, and much, much more…
