Long before this pandemic, entrepreneur John Hall was rethinking what it meant to be successful in one's career. In this COVID-19 economy, American cultural historian Lawrence R. Samuel, Ph.D is continuing that conversation with an even broader lens. In this penultimate episode of Shelter in Place season one, I share insights by John and Lawrence, as well as the things that have mattered most on the journey of letting go of the success I thought I had to have.

 

John Hall is the co-founder and president of Calendar, a leading scheduling app that he’s convinced will change how we manage and invest our time. He authored the best-selling book “Top of Mind,” published by McGraw-Hill. John was a recipient of the EY Entrepreneur of the Year Award for Best Emerging Company and was recognized as one of the Business Journals’ Top 100 Visionaries.

Samuel, Ph.D., is the founder of AmeriCulture, a Miami- and New York City-based consultancy dedicated to translating the emerging cultural landscape into business opportunities. He holds a Ph.D. in American Studies from the University of Minnesota and is the author of many books. I quoted his story in Psychology Today with permission, "How the Pandemic May Change Our Idea of Success."
