In this very first episode of my new podcast A Call to Lead, I talk with Arianna Huffington—serial entrepreneur, Uber board member, author, and leadership expert. Arianna shares her unique perspective on a broad range of subjects, from connecting people (she's a master) to building businesses (she's created many, including Thrive Global) to understanding the zeitgeist. Below are a few highlights from the episode. Enjoy!
6:20 - If we don't continue to learn, we're going to miss where the world is going.
12:18 - To be a risk taker, you can't be looking over your shoulder for approval.
14:30 - Worshipping top performers creates a very toxic culture. No brilliant jerks should be allowed.
26:20 - Human capital is the most important capital of the enterprise.
26:56 - Your job should be challenging and interesting. You must relentlessly prioritize.
