Walter Isaacson (@WalterIsaacson) is a professor at Tulane
University, and the president and CEO of The Aspen Institute, a
nonpartisan educational and policy studies institute based in
Washington, DC. He has been the chairman and CEO of CNN and the
editor of TIME magazine. He is the author of many biographies I
have recommended to thousands of people, including The
Innovators, Steve Jobs, Einstein: His Life and Universe, Benjamin
Franklin: An American Life, Kissinger: A Biography, and his most
recent, Leonardo da Vinci.
In this episode, you learn life lessons and tactics from not just
one person -- because Walter has lived a fascinating life -- but
also from Steve Jobs, Ben Franklin, Leonardo da Vinci, and more.
Walter ties it all together beautifully.
We had a lot of fun in this conversation, and I hope you enjoy it
as much as I did!

This podcast is also brought to you by
Shopify. With the help of
Shopify, many readers of my blog -- first-time business owners --
have ended up making millions of dollars each with their side
gigs. Back in 2009, I helped create Shopify's Build a
Business, which is now the world's largest
entrepreneurship competition.
The goal of this competition is to entice would-be entrepreneurs
to get off the couch and make things happen, and all you
have to do to qualify is open a store on Shopify and start
selling. Top sellers in each category
then have the exclusive opportunity to learn from mentors and
experts like Tony Robbins, Daymond John, Seth Godin, Sir Richard
Branson, and me a location like Oheka (aka Gatsby's) Castle or
Necker Island.
