Summary

Scott Galloway (@profgalloway) cohosts Pivot with Kara Swisher, publishes the No Mercy/No Malice newsletter, is a professor at NYU Stern School of Business, and is the author of The Algebra of Happiness: Notes on the Pursuit of Success, Love, and Meaning.

What We Discuss with Scott Galloway:

How American priorities have shifted from a society that creates millions of millionaires to one that idolizes individuals worth the GDP of Norway.
Why the opportunities Scott and earlier generations enjoyed are no longer available to the majority of the population today.
How Scott can predict if a young person will be successful by the time he or she is 30 (and what you can do to give yourself an edge if you're not on the path).
Why striving for work/life balance and following your passion aren't ideal strategies if you aspire toward great wealth.
The good news: why you don't have to have great wealth in order to live a rich and happy life.
And much more...
