@harrystebbings Hi Harry! It's hard to include Warren Buffett in a group and not be blown away by him. Not only is he, obviously, an incredible business person, but his is also full of incredible wisdom applicable to life in general. I am very inspired by the way he conducts himself. Check out his Getting There essay.

@eriktorenberg Look for a mentor who is generous and confident enough to be real/unguarded.

Hey Gillian! Great to have you here. Can you tell me when you first knew you needed to write this book?

@jacqvon Thank you! I wrote this book because I needed a mentor. I found myself looking at luminaries wondering things like "How did he figure out his career path?" and " How was she able to turn her business into such a success?" Getting There answers these questions...

Two questions: 1) What was the most different thing in the leadership between the those industry leaders you noticed? What was the most common approach/aspect they shared? 2) Also what's something you couldnt get into the book anymore but were going back and forth to still add?

I am absolutely fascinated by your book, @gillianzoesegal. There are many "advice" books out there, but you have a gift for pulling out the best stuff from some of the most admirable leaders of our time. What was the most challenging part about putting together this book?

Has creating "Getting There" changed anything about the way you define success? What one piece of advice in the book (or otherwise) most sticks with you?
