In Case You Missed It: Common Traits of Successful Entrepreneurs with Barbara Corcoran

In case you missed it, Tristan Ahumada had an insightful conversation with Seth Godin. This episode originally aired June 2. 

When surveying 10,000 people in 90 countries for his latest book, The Song of Significance, Seth Godin found that the top response for an aspect of the best job participants had ever had was not money, which Godin says is a common assumption of bosses, but being allowed to feel challenged at work in a healthy way. However, from an industrialist mindset, employees having agency (that is, freedom plus responsibility) and significance in their work is not the top priority of employers—instead, they want to exert control and gain obedience, according to Godin.

Godin has learned from the many experiences and jobs he’s had throughout his life, including his first job as an underqualified 23-year-old in a company making computer games for kids and, more recently, as a volunteer running The Carbon Almanac. Now, he discusses some of those lessons with Brilliant Thoughts host Tristan Ahumada, as well as industrial capitalism and its connection to schooling, “page 19 thinking” and the uses of AI, as well as the necessity of understanding it before you choose to ignore it.

In Case You Missed It: Creating Agency Instead of Obedience with Seth Godin

This week’s Brilliant Thoughts guest is Suneel Gupta, an author and seasoned entrepreneur, who takes listeners on an exploration into the concept of "dharma."  What is dharma and why is it vital to maintaining energy and avoiding burnout? Suneel challenges the idea that outer success guarantees inner fulfillment, prompting us to discover activities in our lives that truly matter. He encourages a balanced approach to life and entrepreneurship, outlining why hustle culture could be problematic. 

Suneel flips the script on rest and recovery, highlighting their role as preparation for future endeavors rather than just rewards. He also reminds us that our work doesn't define our identity, urging us to find true authenticity and balance in our lives. This episode provides a thought-provoking journey that challenges traditional approaches to success and offers insights for those seeking a more meaningful and fulfilling life.
