    #19: 4 Lessons From 4 Years at DoorDash

    Four years ago I left a comfortable job at a great company (LinkedIn) to join DoorDash, a Series C startup that had ~250 people. I want to reflect on lessons learned during this period.

    #18: How to Create a Life Worth Living (Interview with Kevin Delaney, VP of L&D at LinkedIn)

    In this episode, I interview Kevin Delaney and dive into his book, A Life Worth Living: Finding Your Purpose and Daring to Live the Life You've Imagined. Kevin is a VP at LinkedIn where he leads Learning and Development. Prior to that, he was an HR exec at VMware and several other companies. He's a former colleague of mine, and someone I consider to be a mentor and friend.  In our conversation, we discuss his lessons from a serious health challenge, his approach to balancing annual planning with daily rituals, his unique perspective on dealing with setbacks, and, of course, how to create a life worth living. Kevin is one of my all-time favorite people and someone who truly walks the talk. I hope you enjoy our conversation. You can read his book here.  Thank you so much for listening!

    #17: How to Create a Mindset that Prepares You for Everyday Challenges

    Several years ago, someone who I thought I could trust did something that hurt me. I was frustrated and angry. I was hurt. This person's actions blindsided me and I wasn't able to focus or be productive for the rest of the day. Wisdom from the Stoics--Marcus Aurelius in particular--got me back on my feet.  In this episode, I discuss how a simple step, a mindset really, will help us conquer the day-to-day challenges we're going to face. I also share the daily habits that help me perform at my best.   Thank you so much for listening!
