Bonus: Advice to young people

Hi everybody, I'm Nikola Tanyan and today you are listening to In Good Company. Now, today's episode is a bit different and I'm particularly excited about it actually, because over the last few years I've had the chance to sit down with some truly extraordinary people, some of the leading leaders in the world who've shaped industries and changed how we think about business, technology and success. At the end of every conversation, I asked them the same question: what advice would you give to young people? I have been struck by how thoughtful, personal, and sometimes really surprising their answers have been. For this special episode, I've collected advice from some of our remarkable guests, from Lisa Sue at AMD to Bill Gates.

From the CEO of Ferrari to the head of Goldman Sachs, each brings their own perspective on what it takes to build a fulfilling career and a meaningful life. So whether you're a student figuring out your path, someone early in your career, or whether you're just looking for a fresh perspective, there is wisdom here that might resonate with you. These insights come from decades of real-world experience, both successes and failures. Let's start with Lisa Sue, the CEO of AMD, one of the leading chip companies in the world. She shares why we should all be running towards the problems instead of running away from them.

Well, I got a great piece of advice when I was a very young engineer. And, you know, the piece of advice that I got was Lisa, you should run towards problems. And, you know, I didn't really understand that piece of advice at the time, frankly. But, you know, what it what it really means is, look, we all are are gonna spend, you know, sort of all of our our our waking hours um, you know, working on something.
