Timothy Eaton: How to Build an Empire (And Why It Crumbled) [Outliers]

Welcome to the Knowledge Project. I'm your host, Shane Parish. This podcast helps you master the best of what other people have already figured out. Today we're gonna do something a little different. So far we've focused on interviews. But I've learned as much from reading biographies as from interviewing amazing people.

That's why we're starting lessons from outliers. Every other week we'll study an outlier who did remarkable work. From industrialists who reimagine commerce. to the irreverent personalities who change the foundations of their fields. We'll explore what they did and how they did it.

The goal isn't just to tell interesting stories. I want to learn the principles, approaches, and patterns that can help me in work and life today. I want to know the lessons that will help me be a better investor. A better parent. A better partner.
