“Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.” -Theodore Roosevelt
I’ve been talking to so many young people lately who are not sure how to make a name for themselves. They feel stuck at a certain level and aren’t sure what it’s going to take to start making the income they want doing the things the love.
The key is promoting yourself . . . but in the right way.
That’s what this episode is all about. How to hustle for the long run and get what you want.
Welcome to episode 96 of the School of Greatness with my friend and New York Times bestselling author, Dan Schawbel.

Hi! I listened to this this morning. I have 2 questions.
1. My daughter is a freshman at a liberal arts school. I heard what you guys mentioned about that, but she is not interested in math & science. So, from my perspective, can you point us towards this: What have people done who are truly leading interesting, fun, and financially rewarding lives? How did they get from Liberal Arts to success on their terms?
2. Is there a podcast (or ?) out there that would appeal to someone her age & provide insights & information that might guide her choices both in school & around & after school?
After the Chris Lee episodes, this one is one of my fave. Maybe because I’m a millennial and a lot of the points were really practical and helpful.
Great podcast Lewis! This is a great interview with Dan and I will check out his stuff!
This is friggin awesome…. 🙂
