The Learning Leader Show With Ryan Hawk

As Kobe Bryant once said, “There is power in understanding the journey of others to help create your own.” That’s why the Learning Leader Show exists—to understand the journeys of other leaders so that we can better understand our own. This show is full of learnings taught by world-class leaders—personal stories of successes, failures, and lessons learned along the way. Our guests come from diverse backgrounds—CEOs of multi-billion dollar companies, best-selling authors, Navy SEALs, and professional athletes. My role in this endeavor is to talk to the most thoughtful, accomplished, and intentional leaders in the world so that we can learn from them as we each create our own journeys.

Episode 089: Julie Lythcott-Haims – Why It Doesn’t Matter Where You Went To College

Julie Lythcott-Haims is a very interesting and intelligent leader.  She is deeply interested in humans and living lives of meaning and purpose.  Learning more about the most important job we (parents) will ever have is imperative to me.  Julie shares detailed, research backed evidence to how we can better lead our children.  We are extremely fortunate to have Julie share her knowledge with us, the loyal listeners of The Learning Leader Show. 

Julie majored in American Studies at Stanford University and studied law at Harvard.  She practiced law in the Bay Area in the 1990s before returning to Stanford to serve in various roles including Dean of Freshmen.  In 2010 she received the university’s Lloyd W. Dinkelspiel Award for “creating the atmosphere that defines the undergraduate experience.” She is the author of the best-selling book, “How To Raise An Adult – Break Free Of The Overparenting Trap And Prepare Your Kid For Success.”
