Description
Alex Banayan (@alexbanayan) is the author of The Third Door: The Wild Quest to Uncover How the World's Most Successful People Launched Their Careers, which chronicles his seven-year quest tracking down icons from Bill Gates to Lady Gaga to uncover how they broke through and launched their careers.
What We Discuss with Alex Banayan:
What Bill Gates, Lady Gaga, Steven Spielberg, Maya Angelou, Steve Wozniak, and Jane Goodall all have in common.
The role of luck in success (it's probably not what you think).
Why mentors are important (and the mistakes people make when trying to find one).
How you can reach out to potential mentors even if you don't have a connection in common to make the introduction.
How Alex hacked The Price Is Right to fund this book venture and his speaking career.
And much more...
