Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Rick Williams on Leadership vs. Management, Making Difficult Decisions, and Knowing When to Drop Out of the Race
Q: Can you tell us about one of your many races? And can you tell us about a time when perhaps, again, the plan did not come out the way that we needed to, and you had to put it in such a way to really lead?
During the Newport to Bermuda race, a failed hydraulic backstay left the mast at risk. Williams discussed the options with his crew and decided to stop racing and motor to Bermuda rather than risk further damage or injury.
Rick Williams on Leadership vs. Management, Making Difficult Decisions, and Knowing When to Drop Out of the Race
Q: When you were still working in the lab with the lenses and these optics, what was the first decision that you made that made you leave and say that you wanted to go into this business strategy and consulting instead of staying on that side of the equation?
Williams realized that his strengths in communication and bringing people together distinguished him as much as his technical skills. He chose to work at Arthur D. Little, then pursued business school at the firm's suggestion.
Richard Kaufman on The Power of Identity, What He Learned from Gary Vee and Ed Mylett, and How His Daughter Saved Him from Suicide
Q: Why is that so overwhelming for veterans, and why is that so hard for us when we get in the civilian sector?
Kaufman explains that military uniforms and identification communicate rank, experience, and role, while civilian life removes those markers. After his military identity disappeared, he did not know who he was outside the role of Sergeant Kaufman, a transition he says can leave veterans and first responders vulnerable.
Richard Kaufman on The Power of Identity, What He Learned from Gary Vee and Ed Mylett, and How His Daughter Saved Him from Suicide
Q: In the 14 years that you've been in therapy, what would be the biggest revelation that you would like to share with our watchers and listeners in regards to what you learned about yourself or maybe the blind spots that you were unaware of?
Kaufman says the key realization was that nobody is coming to save you and that change is an inside job. He also shares Ed Mylett's perspective that hardships can happen for a person, and says taking full responsibility for one's life makes it possible to start living.
Robert Greene: Mastering the Art of the Sublime (Replay)
Q: How did the near-death experience influence your work on The Sublime and your broader philosophy?
The stroke and coma crystallized his awareness of mortality, pushing him to write about the sublime as a waypoint beyond conventional thought and to emphasize the urgency of living a purpose-driven life.
