Brad is the author of a new book called Peak Performance — which Ariana Huffington called "an essential playbook for success, happiness, and getting the most out of ourselves." Brad was a consultant at McKinsey before diving into the world of personal and professional growth, and now has a business coaching top CEOs when he’s not writing. Brad caught DC’s attention when he wrote an article about Work Life Balance for the New York Times, so we tweeted at Brad about coming on the podcast, he said let’s do it — and we met up at Brad’s apartment in Oakland a few weeks ago. I think you’re going to love this episode of Seeking Wisdom and Brad’s formula — stress + rest = growth.

Today he is the founder of Lola, a Boston-based travel service. DC invited Paul over to Drift for a conversation with the team and we recorded it Seeking Wisdom — but it’s not the conversation that you might have expected. Instead of asking Paul about his career and story, we went deep on one topic: people. This episode of Seeking Wisdom is all about hiring.

#80: Why DC Sent His Co-Founder to Meet Jocko Willink Jul 19, 2017

Show notes

"You’re going to Austin to see Jocko." That’s what DC told his co-founder Elias (Drift’s CTO) a few weeks ago. They’ve started two companies together over the last 10 years, and last week, DC sent Elias to go see Jocko Willink— the same Jocko that we talked about on episode #72 Leadership Lessons From A Navy Seal. And now that Elias is back, we had to have him on Seeking Wisdom to tell the whole story, including why he’s been getting up at 4:30 AM ever since.
