  • To me,

  • I think of weird

  • as a strategic commitment to not fit in. Jennie Wood has lived a life of what she calls wild courage.

  • Crafting a stunning 18 year career, leading a team at Google that generated billions,

  • chasing her future husband off a New York City subway to get his number,

  • even learning to fly planes,

  • and really just living a life beyond fear by accessing what she calls wild courage,

  • which is also the name of her groundbreaking new book that reclaims

  • and redefines traits like being shameless,

  • selfless and nosy as fuel for amazing outcomes in work, relationships and life.

  • Serendipity isn't found, it's made.

  • What do you think is the relationship between ambition and serendipity?

  • Then ambitious people close the gap between what they want and what they get.

  • What do we risk losing when we're not wildly courageous?

  • We risk losing.

  • It's 2011 and I'm riding the New York City subway home from work.

  • And about 20ft away from me is this really good looking guy.

  • And I am really taken by him.

  • It's like gorgeous blue eyes, perfectly quaffed, five o'clock shadow.

  • And I want to approach him, but something stops me.
