| 0:00.0 | Welcome back, everybody. I'm Greg McEwan. I'm your host. And I am here with you on this journey |
| 0:12.0 | to learn, to grow so that we can accomplish more, but to do it without burning out. Today is part |
| 0:20.5 | two of my interview with Bruce Feeler. Bruce is the author of six consecutive New York Times |
| 0:26.8 | best-selling books. He's a deep thinker and he's interviewed thousands of people to try to |
| 0:32.9 | understand what really leads to a higher contribution. Here's what it's not thinking of work |
| 0:41.2 | as a single linear career where your job is to go higher and higher is not the way to maximize |
