Tom Peters has walked many, many paths in life, more than many
of us can claim. He's been a Navy Seabee overseas in Vietnam, a
White House advisor, a McKinsey consultant, even a PBS show host.
You might know him as the author of the 80s management bestseller,
"In Search of Excellence."
Recently, Tom had the idea to start up a podcast of his own, and
asked our host Whitney to be his first guest. Tom even had a name
for the podcast ready: "Extreme Humanism," after another of his
books. The two friends talked in front of microphones for over an
hour, and then Tom retired, deservedly so.
With Tom's permission, we're happy to polish up that tape and
present a bonus episode of Disrupt Yourself, one where Whitney
actually won't be doing the interviewing. Join us (and Whitney's
daughter, Miranda!) for a thoughtful dialogue about drawing maps to
nowhere, five-star generals in the Indian military, and everything
in between.
