Episode Synopsis
Key Takeaways:Surf Ranch discussion around the whole experience from going to the venue to actually ride the wavesJack Dangermond - above the line (context vs. content) conceptEducation background in USCEarlier experience in Journalism at NY TimesImpact of surfing on Zach's careerWhat is "The Inertia" and the idea behind the voiceTransformation from idea to realityEpisode Quotes:"I'd like to create that sort of magic and opportunities like that for other people too, the fact that the surf ranch exists and it was built. Anyone who goes through there is leaving. Happier, they're leaving feeling better. They're leaving, feeling fulfilled. They're leaving thinking what the possibilities might be. How could they translate that into their own life? What plays to make that kind of impact. And it's so just kind of got me sitting, like how can I help create magic like that in this world? That's my biggest takeaway was. And strive for that. Try to, because that was not a possibility, not very long ago, but now it is." - Zach Weisberg"I feel that those are often the most exciting time when you're making a pretty big change. That also in my view is kind of a fun zone to live in, and maybe not constantly, but that's when you would learn a lot, you question a lot what's going on and you make some big decisions and you see how they shake out.""An insight that one of my mentors, duke stump, quotes frequently is that we can't create the magic but we can create the conditions for the magic. And that's definitely what the surf ranch has achieved, are the conditions for the magic." - Kurt Daradics"Jack Dangermond, my former boss, over at Esri had that idea of living above the line and above the line is having context and below the line is having content. And he would talk about that frequently and say that part of the reason for his success is he would always try to sort of step back and look at the big picture and not get so caught up in the automatic stimulus-response function, but try to have some space" - Kurt Daradics Links Mentioned:Kurt’s TwitterKurt’s InstagramKurt’s LinkedInKurt’s newsletterRate the podcastZach's LinkedInZach's InstagramZach's TwitterThe Inertia's InstagramThe Inertia's Website
