The Innovation Stack with Square Co-Founder Jim McKelvey - Ep 60 The Third Place
-
- Relationships
We had never met a billionaire before and were curious to know what a day in the life was like! While we certainly had a lot of fun asking this question, Jim ALSO gave such great insight about entrepreneurship as we asked many questions about his book, The Innovation Stack: Building an Unbeatable Business One Crazy Idea at a Time. Jim's hope in writing the book was to empower everyday people to address some of our world's toughest problems through changing how we think about new ideas.
This interview is such a treat, and we think you’re really going to enjoy it! And, for what it’s worth, Jim doesn’t sound like a stereotypical billionaire, so we’ll still have to find another someday for different awkward questions!

The Third Place Podcast is a weekly podcast that invites listeners into the hard conversations that we have a tendency to avoid.
We “go there” on things such as…
How anger is beautifulHow to find presence amidst chaosHow to have difficult conversationsHow to be an allyHow to live with grief
The Third Place is a safe place where curiosity is encouraged, differences are welcomed, and empathy is embraced through healthy dialogue.
We've forgotten how to talk to each other… Life has become polarized and dualistic - you’re either with me or against me. To embrace the complex human experience is to see the world through other’s eyes. The Third Place podcast helps with the disconnect. This looks like less conflict and tension and more like a peaceful existence with others. The Third Place podcast restores the art of dialogue.
