This week Andrew talks with journalist & author Polina Marinova Pompliano. Polina spent 5 years at Fortune where she wrote over 1,300 articles — and served as author & editor of Term Sheet, Fortune’s industry-leading newsletter on venture capital, private equity, and corporate dealmaking. Today, Polina is the founder of The Profile, a media company that features longform profiles of successful people and companies. She is also the author of the new book “Hidden Genius: The Secret Ways of Thinking That Power The World’s Most Successful People”. In this conversation, Andrew & Polina dive deep into her favorite findings from years of studying top performers — and explore how all of us can apply these lessons to our own lives.
