Listen Later

Alex Banayan (@alexbanayan) is the author of The Third Door: The Wild Quest to Uncover How the World's Most Successful People Launched Their Careers, which chronicles his seven-year quest tracking down icons from Bill Gates to Lady Gaga to uncover how they broke through and launched their careers.

What We Discuss with Alex Banayan:
  • What Bill Gates, Lady Gaga, Steven Spielberg, Maya Angelou, Steve Wozniak, and Jane Goodall all have in common.
  • The role of luck in success (it's probably not what you think).
  • Why mentors are important (and the mistakes people make when trying to find one).
  • How you can reach out to potential mentors even if you don't have a connection in common to make the introduction.
  • How Alex hacked The Price Is Right to fund this book venture and his speaking career.
  • And much more...
