Bestselling author and business thinker Jim Collins sits down for a personal conversation about purpose, leadership, and how to build a meaningful life. At a time when many young people feel increasingly uncertain about their future and are searching for direction, Collins offers our audience something different; a framework for finding purpose beyond career success. Inspired by his new book, What to Make of a Life: Cliffs, Fog, Fire and the Self-Knowledge Imperative, Collins details how to navigate life's defining events, positive and negative. He also shares the habits and strategies that have shaped him while providing guidance for anyone looking to build a life of meaning in an increasingly uncertain world.00:00 Inspiration & How To Make A Social Science Book Personal 9:39 What To Make Of A Life13:07 What Inspires Someone To Write19:07 Intention & Becoming A 4 AM Person25:08 Cliff Events & Pairs: Evaluating Reactions To Similar Circumstances31:07 This Notion of Encoding41:25 What Makes The Multiple Types Of Success 45:05 Fogs49:14 The Bug Book 53:46 Fire & Aging 1:05:07 Staying In Frame1:15:49 Choosing Responsibility1:25:15 The One Thing Collins Learned Writing This Book1:32:38 Finding Your BHAGSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
