I’ve got a side project, The 92 Report, a weekly podcast where my goal is to interview every member of the Harvard Class of 1992. (181 episodes published so far. It will take 30 years)
In one recent episode, I spoke with Clare Scherrer, who worked for twenty-five years at Goldman Sachs, rising to become the Global Co-Head of Industrials Investment Banking, and who now sits on two corporate boards.
When I asked Clare what led to her success at Goldman Sachs, she told me that one lesson she learned at an early stage was “the importance of running towards problems”
So when I was a young associate, whenever there was a hard client that had a reputation for being a difficult client, if you raised your hand and said, you know, I’d like to be a part of that, you really distinguished yourself internally as someone who was always of the mindset, “How can I help? And the interesting thing is that you learn more from the difficult situations, and you just get more exposure because what you learn carries you forward to help you be better equipped for other more difficult situations.
My shirts apparently fail the Turing Test because people ask me if they are AI generated.
Yes they are real shirts! If you see me walking around I’ll probably be wearing one of them.
You can buy any of my shirt designs, or even better, create your own, on Zazzle.
