There’s no way around it: success is hard. It’s prized, pursued, endlessly theorized — and yet, remains frustratingly rare. Still, behind many lasting success stories lies a shared set of conditions.

This episode explores one such framework: the PIE theory — a framework for understanding what actually endures. Disarmingly simple, quietly complex, and deeply revealing, it offers a lens into the mechanics of long-term achievement. Around it, a set of conversations with five people whose careers are defined less by spectacle than by staying power: Ken Langone, Linda Robinson, Andrew Davis, John Byrne, and Deborah Grubman.

No hustle worship. No tidy prescriptions. Just a candid exploration of what long-term success might really require — and what it asks of us.
