Finding Joy in Your Journey

Introduction

Paul
In today's session, we're joined by two of our very best former students, Drue Tranquill and Joe Schmidt. In typical Joe and Drue fashion, this conversation was wide-ranging and totally energizing for us. You're going to hear about Drue's improbable run to becoming Super Bowl Champion with the Kansas City Chiefs. This was after he had a history of battling back from multiple season-ending injuries.

You're also going to get to know Joe, a former walk-on at Notre Dame turned team MVP, who then went on to become a venture capitalist at two of the most storied firms in the world, Accel and now Andreessen Horowitz. Stepping back, we're just in awe of the way Joe and Drue embrace life with a sense of joy that is so infectious to all those around them. We think this joyful attitude might actually be the key to their extraordinary success so early in their careers.
