Summary

Today Rachel sits down and geeks out with entrepreneur and venture capitalist Ben Horowitz to talk about tuning out the advice of others in the fearless pursuit of your own personal truth. They also give some really good advice on leadership, including the example of Wartime General vs Peacetime General, and leading a team that's zagging when everyone else in the field is still zigging. You're NOT gonna want to miss this one! You can find Ben Horowitz's books as well as other incredible content at his website! -- Dave's first-ever book, Get Out Of Your Own Way, is coming this March! This book is for everyone, and we mean EVERYONE: women who loved Girl Wash Your Face, men who did or didn't read Girl Wash Your Face, personal development skeptics, personal development devotees, anyone and everyone who has a life and knows it could maybe get a little better if they could just get out of their own dang way! The best part is Dave has created some really cool extras, like a FREE e-course, for people who pre-order the book, so get to it!
