117. Advice to Your 30 & 40yo Selves

The After 30 Podcast

We have a super funny and fruitful chat with the former CEO of Harlem Globetrotters, Kurt Schneider, and former president of TEDMED, Jon Ellenthal (among many other things). Now in their mid 50's, Kurt & Jon, reflect on how crucial a good environment is for any company to be truly sustainable, healthy and successful, the power of lighting up the room, how the busyness of life changes as we go through different stages, and they serve up some of the best advise we've heard about what they would tell their younger selves (hint, stop trying to control the narrative, you don't know shit, and lighten up).

This one is not to be missed, it's witty, funny, and PACKED with the kind of advice that you'd love to get from your funny, massively successful uncle over a night of gin martinis.

We hope you love it!
