As we handle ourselves with a little more patience and a little more humility. And that's how we find greater and greater mountai...

We both have a particular interest in the psychology and mental model of professional athletes, so we cover that...

If you didn't have a college degree, you would never find a good job and you would never work for a good company. This led me down a path looking for the outliers—the ones who avoided traditional education and created their own map instead. I became passionate about learning more about why their lif...
