Send us Fan Mail About Stever Stever Robbins is an MIT computer scientist, Harvard MBA, entrepreneur, TEDx speaker, and former host of the top-10 business podcast The Get-it-Done Guy. Raised in a traveling New Age hippie commune before going on to co-found startups and help redesign Harvard Business School's leadership curriculum, he now helps people create lives and careers that are both successful and deeply meaningful. For most of his life, Stever followed the standard success playbook — MIT, Harvard, startups, a career that looked great on paper. Then, at 40, he became curious: why do some people end up living extraordinary lives while others, just as smart and hardworking, end up with lives that are perfectly fine but not especially interesting? He started calling classmates from MIT and Harvard Business School. What he found surprised him. Most had built successful, respectable lives — but only a handful had lives that made him think, "I'd trade places with you in a heartbeat." The common thread: at some point, they stepped away from the plan and took a leap toward something uncertain, unconventional, or a little scary. That discovery sent Stever on a three-year experiment of his own — making different choices, following curiosity more than certainty, and seeing what happened. The lessons from that journey became his TEDx talk, Living an Extraordinary Life. He joins Live Your Legacy™ to share one essential truth: extraordinary lives don't come from having the perfect plan. They come from being willing to take the next step toward something that matters, even when you can't see exactly where it leads. "Extraordinary lives don't come from having the perfect plan. They come from being willing to take the next step toward something that matters, even when you can't see exactly where it leads." Enjoying the conversations on Live Your Legacy?
