#21 Stephen Turban: Building Relationships, a Career, and Habits for a Fulfilling Life

Update: 2021-05-09

Description

Listen to hear Stephen Turban (Harvard '17, ex-McKinsey, Harvard Business School PhD student) talk to me about what he's done and learned from his four years since graduating.

By hearing his story, he got me thinking about:

a career "structure" for the first few years after graduating (he went from Beijing with McKinsey to working on building a new university in Vietnam and now to starting an education company of his own)

language learning (he's learned Spanish, Mandarin, Vietnamese, and now Hindi...)

building a writing habit (while in college he wrote a book - yes you heard me right a literal book you can buy on Amazon called Your Relationship GPA)

strategies to cultivate friendships in the real world (he built a group at Harvard, the Franklin Fellowship, that did exactly that)

Let me tell you, this one left me with a dumb smile on my face... I've never met Stephen before, but within seconds we were laughing. And throughout the whole conversation he kept it light while at the same time giving the most thoughtful and insightful answers to the questions I want answers to before I head off into the next chapter of life post-graduation.

I loved this one, I hope you do it. Please enjoy Stephen Turban.
