What Did a Ladybug Host Take From Simon Sinek's Start With Why?

at 11:32

From the episode: New Career, Who Dis?

On New Career, Who Dis?, a Ladybug host recommends Simon Sinek's Start with Why, one of her favorite books. The idea she takes is the ethos behind why people do what they do. She says the hosts succeeded because they had a guiding why behind the shows they make. Her own computer science degree had no why beyond the curriculum. She believes about 95 percent of what she actually knows was self-taught, and she struggled for a long time because the degree gave her no guiding force. She ties the same point to Ali Spittel's early web-development work: knowing why would have made that practice much more useful.
