704: Strauss Zelnick - The Leader Who Greenlit Dirty Dancing, Owns Grand Theft Auto, Loves Being Coached, and Might be the Fittest CEO Alive

If you're a fan of the show, you've probably heard me talk a lot about our learning leader circle. We open it up one time per year for applications. We create one new group per year. That time is now. Learningleaderscircle dot com is where you apply, where you could learn a lot more. What it is, it's a group of roughly twelve ish people. It's thoughtfully curated with get after it people who are doers, the eights and nines who want to be tens. I love reading the applications and having the Zoom interviews to curate the next group. It's one of my favorite things to do. And it's even better once we get the group formed and started. So If you want to surround yourself with people who are going to hold you accountable, you're going to do work.

Together with them, others who had this learning leader ethos who are always becoming, never arriving. then you should apply for our learning leader circle. Go to Learning leader circle. Dot com.
