#679: Kat Cole - CEO of $500m Company

​Kat Cole is the CEO of AG1 (formerly known as Athletic Greens. When she got there, they were doing $150m in revenue. A few years later, they're at $500m/year and growing. Kat is back for her third time on The Learning Leader Show. We discussed Interviewing for Your Next Job Every Day, Learning vs. Ego, The Four Key Mindsets for Senior Leaders, The Journey of Who You Become, and much more. You can also WATCH our conversation on YouTube.

Why I Love Skiing With My Family

The mountains are beautiful... But that's not really why you go. I wrote a little bit about why I love skiing with my family.

Having Kids

​One of the best essays on parenting... From Paul Graham. He talks about the way your perspective changes once you have them. I love what Russel Crowe said about being a parent: "Possibly the greatest human privilege."

The 3 Sides of Risk

A personal story from Morgan Housel about skiing, friendship, risk, and paying the ultimate price.

Wise Words

“Life is like skiing. Just like skiing, the goal is not to get to the bottom of the hill. It’s to have a bunch of good runs before the sun sets.” – Seth Godin​
