“The calm, humility, and curiosity of Adam Grant. The marketing science and intellect of Byron Sharp. And the inventive and original thinking of Scott Galloway. Ethan is fun to listen to and even more fun to talk to. I worked with Ethan a long time ago, but I think he’s just scratching the surface with this new endeavor, and I’m excited to see how it progresses.
