Hey listeners, this is Jordan McLeod, executive producer of Masters of Scale.

If you've ever wished you could hear insights from Reed in real time, well then listen up.

We're hosting a live virtual strategy session in alliance with Capital One Business on January 26th,

and you're invited. During this event, you'll hear Reed and other business leaders explore

some of the most timely questions entrepreneurs are facing right now.

When you register, you'll also have a chance to submit your own question to Reed,

and he just might answer it live. So go to Mastersofscale.com slash strategy session to register for free.

Again, that's Mastersofscale.com slash strategy session. Now onto the show.

Hi listeners, it's Reed. What you're about to hear is a special bonus episode of Masters of Scale.

We're celebrating a brand new year, which usually comes with some New Year's resolutions.

But if 2021 is even half as unpredictable as 2020, you can expect any resolutions to fall quickly by the wayside.

So instead, we put together a sort of primer for the year ahead based on lessons learned from a

sometimes devastating, often inspiring, always surprising year we just put behind us.

Many of these lessons are drawn from interviews in Mastersofscale, rapid response hosted by my colleague Bob Safian.

If you haven't spent time with those episodes, this will give you a taste of what we've learned

in these fast, focused interviews with leaders in the thick of rapid change.

The eight lessons you're about to hear were inspired by the rough waters of 2020,

but I think you'll find yourself returning to them again and again, even when we return to smoother seas.

With that, I hope you enjoy this special anthology episode,

Eighth Reliable Lessons for Unreliable Times.

You've got to have incredible talent at every position.

It's like this huge push.
