Welcome to the Knowledge Project Podcast. I'm your host, Shane Parish. The goal of this show is to master the best what other people have already figured out.

To do that, I sit down with people at the top of their game to uncover the useful lessons that you can learn and apply in life and business.

If you're listening to this, you're missing out. If you'd like special member-only episodes, access before anyone else, and edited transcripts, and other member-only content, you can join at fs.blog slash membership.

Over the last five years, I've been lucky enough to speak with some of the most incredible people in the world.

When I listen to past episodes, one thing that stands out is how well the insights from these conversations stand the test of time.

They're as relevant and insightful today as when they were originally recorded. And in a world that encourages a treadmill of perishable information, it's worth revisiting wisdom that doesn't expire.

So a few times a year, we'll go back to earlier episodes, some of which you may have missed, some of which you may have forgotten, and pull out some timeless gems around a single theme.

The theme for this episode is leadership. You'll hear from Jim Collins, who defines leadership and examines history to see how context-dependent good leadership really is.

Then, leadership coach Jennifer Berger shares the practical insights that separate average and great leaders.

Randall Stuttman from the Admired Leadership Institute discusses the importance of giving feedback, something he says everyone knows how to do, but in reality they get very wrong.

It's not enough to give feedback. How you do it makes all the difference.

Cat Cole, the president and COO of Athletic Greens, talks about the importance of doing right versus being right, the challenges of leading a business in different cultures, and a unique, juristic for accepting criticism.

Alan Malale, the former CEO of Ford, will teach us the elements of his working together management system that helps you lead any team through principles and empowerment.

And finally, Diana Chapman, co-founder of the Conscious Leadership Group, teaches us some crucial advice about running a team, the importance of unrelenting candor, and how teams can more effectively make decisions.

It's time to listen and learn.

The Knowledge Project is sponsored by Metalab. For a decade, Metalab has helped some of the world's top companies and entrepreneurs build products that millions of people use every day.

You probably didn't realize that at the time, but odds are you've used an app that they've helped design or build, apps like Slack, Coinbase, Facebook Messenger, Oculus, Lonely Planet, and many more.

Metalab wants to bring their unique design philosophy to your project. Let them take your brainstorm and turn it into the next billion dollar app from idea sketched on the back of an appkin to a final ship product.
