Looking Ahead: Lessons for Parents on Preparing Your Kids to Navigate Adulthood and Their Careers with Seth Marlowe | Self-Directed

Seth Marlowe has 28 years of experience in the corporate world ranging from individual contributor to senior executive. His two daughters, Brooke (21) and Lauren (24) have dedicated a combined total of 1 semester to the college experience. And, yet, each of them is crushing it.

The single most important way to advance = find ways to deliver unexpected value
Fulfillment and happiness doesn’t necessarily mean $$ - balance is key
The simple formula to live by: Reality - Expectation = Happiness
The only thing that’s certain is things will change; never, ever allow yourself to get stuck
