Ryan Holiday witnessed, first hand, the destructive force of ego when his boss and mentor unraveled from leadership at American Apparel.

Throughout history, leaders have wrestled with the nature of their own egos - most of all in the spoils of success. In Ryan's book, Ego is the Enemy (I loved this book), he takes us through a journey of mythology, history, and leadership to reveal the greatest challenge to our own success - we are the potential chaos to our own story.

On this show we talk about ambition, the power of humility, and accepting the possibility of plain ol' dumb luck.
