The Art of Gravitas: Your Guide to Genuine Confidence and Empowerment

Episode notes

Episode Summary About the Guest: Lisa Sun is a businesswoman through and through. She credits it to her parents, saying, “I cut my teeth as an entrepreneur, because in 1987, at the age of eight - I don't think my mother understood child labor laws - I was the cashier [at their restaurant]. I learned firsthand what it took to create something from nothing.” Lisa’s achievements accelerated when she entered high school at only twelve years old and was introduced to Dale Carnegie. “I read [ How to Win Friends and Influence People ] cover to cover, and it was my formative experience at twelve years old learning what it meant to operate in Western culture, to shake hands and remember people's names and ask questions and be interested. I would not be the person I am today if I hadn't had that experience.” Lisa’s experience also involves twelve years with McKinsey and Company, where she sought feedback and grew as a person. When she decided to start GRAVITAS, she interviewed 200 people for insights and brainstorming.
