LEARNING, LESSONS + REAL-WORLD TESTS

We have 2 parts to this podcast community:

PART 1
LESSONS WE HAVE LEARNED
For the last decade we have been curating lessons on how we live AND work together. We've consolidated this experience into a series of books, blogs and podcast series. We want to share this expertise with you — AND we want to hear YOUR knowledge! We are a community!

PART 2
APPLYING IT IN REAL LIFE
We practice these lessons in the real world. We call these segments "Tripisodes". These are highlights from our various business trips around the world. There's nothing like the stress and fatigue of travel to test our beliefs, mindset and methods! Come explore the world with us as we put the lessons to the test in the real world!
