Success Beyond Money: Joe Hudson

People who are just like, I'm just in it for the money, they're never hyper-successful and they're never long-term successful. And they might get the money, no doubt, but their process of getting to that money is incredibly hard. What you're about to hear is an interview that I've just wrapped with the incredible Joe Hudson. Now, Joe is a former venture capitalist turned philanthropist who is now the executive coach to some of Silicon Valley's most famous and rich executives and CEOs.

The search for purpose assumes that you weren't born with it and so it chases it away. So emotional decision making is it's actually what drives us. We're all having emotions all the time. There is no waking moment where an emotion isn't happening. The question is, are we conscious of the emotion?

So in the conversation we talk about the relationship between success, money, fulfillment. We turn into talking about emotions and how to feel emotions and emotional fluidity. We do a little bit of kind of therapy for me around like my fear of reading negative reviews of my book and seeing negative comments and how what that says about feelings and emotions and ego and all that fun stuff. We talk a little bit about parenting, which is kind of interesting, and we end with some thoughts about what are the key differences between people who are successful and happy versus people who are successful and unhappy.
