Two questions are discussed in this podcast, one from each host, Michael and Lee. The questions are culled from the archive of the Intellectual Roundtable blog. This episode's two questions are:


How do you define success?


Lee makes the point that it is difficult to reach a goal without first deciding what that goal happens to be. So the first step for any project -- no matter how large or how small -- should be to define what success looks like. For example, what does it mean to you to live a successful life?


Is happiness the most important purpose in life?


This question was Michael's first-ever question at Intellectual Roundtable, and over the years it has proven to be the most popular question ever posted. Lee and Michael both talk about why this questions means so much to them, and conjecture what it is that resonates so much with others.
