Susan Cain is the author of the world-wide bestseller Quiet: The Power of Introverts in A World That Can't Stop Talking, which has been translated into 40 languages, is in its seventh year on the New York Times best seller list, and was named the #1 best book of the year by Fast Company magazine, which also named Cain one of its Most Creative People in Business. LinkedIn named her the 6th Top Influencer in the world.
- Leaders who sustain excellence =
- Understand that soft is hard and hard is soft. Soft skills = essential skills. They are hard, but essential to develop.
- Leaders in corporate America surprise Susan
- She expected a lot of resistance from others, but her ideas have been embraced.
- The responsibility Susan feels for making "introverting so hard" a cool thing to say... It wasn't before her book.
- People would hide the fact they were an introvert prior to Quiet being published and/or lie on personality tests
- The point is not to say that you should want to be an introvert or an extrovert -- We need both.
- Charisma = magic
- "The wind howls but the mountain remains still." We moved from being --> To being a culture of personality.
- Susan's roots: A Harvard educated lawyer
- Building a Negotiation Consulting business after leaving the corporate world
- How can an introvert be a good negotiator?
- The best negotiators are the ones who do their homework
- Present in a neutral way, calm, collected, ask questions, try to learn, better understand the other person's position
- Romantic relationships - An extrovert and introvert getting married -- "you must really understand the other person's preferences are legitimate."
- When should you act more extroverted than you are?
- We should all step outside of our comfort zones, but be intentional about it. An introvert who is a public speaker (like Susan) must do this to share the message with groups of people. What are your core projects? When in service of others, do it.
- Restorative niches --> After a keynote (for an introvert), go to your hotel room and relax alone (to restore energy expended speaking)
- Why is cool overrated?
- In the Enron scandal, Vince Kaminski was the "uncool introverted nerd." He was the unsung hero in the scandal. He figured out what was happening in advance. They told him, "You're like the police and we don't like that."
- The process to sell the proposal for Quiet:
- Started writing it in 2005.
- Agent shopped it an received 12 offers --> A bidding frenzy
- The importance of writing the "first crappy draft."
- Take the feedback as a gift
- Most successful authors have had a lot of help

World War II with Tom Hanks
By shows
For eighty years, the Second World War has remained the most devastating and defining conflict in human history. World War II with Tom Hanks reexamines the war through the lens of a new century. Told over twenty hours and guided by Tom Hanks, whose lifelong passion for this history has shaped some of the most profound screen portrayals of the era, the series captures the full arc of the war — from the rise of fascism in Europe to the fall of Berlin, from Pearl Harbor to Hiroshima, and the uneasy peace that follows. Each episode uncovers new dimensions of the conflict: the decisions that shaped the battlefield, the unseen networks that sustained the war effort, and the aftershocks that still shape our world today. World War II with Tom Hanks is the definitive retelling of that story for a new generation: a sweeping, deeply human portrait of how the modern world was forged in the fires of global war.

The Last 12 Weeks
By shows
In 1992, David Wood was convicted of murdering young women and girls and burying them in the desert outside El Paso, earning him the nickname the Desert Killer. More than 30 years later, his lawyers have one last chance to argue his innocence and stop his execution. “The Last 12 Weeks” follows a team of capital defense lawyers as they try to save their client’s life. The series, produced by Serial Productions and The New York Times in collaboration with The Marshall Project, focuses on the high stakes and at times bizarre work involved in trying to halt an execution. With an extraordinary level of access to a capital case in its final stretch, the longtime death penalty reporter Maurice Chammah takes listeners into the room with the lawyers as the clock ticks down. Maurice and Alvin Melathe, a producer, follow members of the defense team as they look for alternate suspects, try to find new evidence to poke holes in the case, and track down hard-to-find witnesses. In the end, will the lawyers’ efforts be enough to persuade a deeply skeptical court system — and stop an execution three decades in the making? “The Last 12 Weeks.” A five-part series … on a deadline.
