798 Rich Karlgaard – Late Bloomers: The Power of Patience in a World Obsessed with Early Achievement
Late Bloomers
My conversation with Rich Karlgaard is all about patience and the power of playing the long-game in finding our full potential in a world obsessed with early achievement. Based on years of research, personal experience, interviews with neuroscientists, psychologists, and countless people at different stages of their careers, in Late Bloomers, Rich reveals how and when we achieve our full potential—and why today’s focus on early success is so misguided, and even harmful. An important, enjoyable and inspiring conversation.

A self-proclaimed late bloomer, Rich had a mediocre academic career at Stanford (which he got into by a fluke), and after graduating, worked as a dishwasher, night watchman, and typing temp before finally finding the inner motivation and drive that ultimately led him to his current career trajectory.
