You have choices every day.
It doesn't matter what's happened to you.
All it matters is the choice you make that day and what you make of it.
And I think if there is a lesson I've learned is to just show up.
Show up and live the day you have today, not based off your demons of the past, but off of your joy for today.
If you do that, you are going to totally destroy your career.
That's what today's guest, Nilafur merchant, was told when she decided that the topic of her TED talk would be the damage that's done by sitting and the power of walking during your work, especially walking meetings.
Why was she told that?
Because behind her, she had a stunning career as a mover and shaker in some of the most powerful startups and some of the largest organizations in Silicon Valley.
And in technology, she was known as a thinker, an intellect.
She was known as the Jane Bond of innovation for her ability to really guide companies through impossible scenarios.
And now she was going to take one of the biggest stages in the world and talk about not sitting.
Well, that's exactly what she did.
And why she made that choice is something that we dive into.
And her extraordinary career, her lens on the world, is really something that blew my mind.
Now there's another interesting first, which you guys actually won't be able to see, but I kind of felt that it influenced the direction of this conversation.
This was the first podcast that we recorded standing up, literally in a studio, face to face, standing in front of microphones.
And it was a really fascinating experience for me.
So I hope you enjoy this conversation.
