Description
How does ‘love’ fit into the logic of building a business, advancing a business career, and fulfilling our life’s legacy?Ten years ago, during the summer term of the Executive MBA program at Chicago Booth, I had the pleasure of meeting today’s guest, Waverly Deutsch. She taught one of the standout courses in the executive program, called Building New Ventures.Throughout my extensive MBA studies at both Yale and Chicago Booth, where I completed the full-time and executive programs respectively, I’ve sat through countless lectures taught by highly intelligent scholars and practitioners. Yet, Waverly is the only professor I’ve encountered who dared to use the word ‘love’ in a business school classroom.It makes me wonder, how does ‘love’ fit into building a business, advancing a business career, and fulfilling our life’s legacy?With that in mind, I’ve put together a three-part series called “Love and Logic,” featuring Waverly as our special guest. She’ll be sharing and exploring, from various angles, how the intricate balance of love and logic shapes our career goals and life choices.Part 1: Today’s episode zooms in on Waverly’s personal journey—the love and logic that have guided her career path and experiences.Part 2: In our next episode, we’ll dive into a significant chapter of her career: her 22 years at Chicago Booth. There, she taught and coached a sharply focused group of highly logical talents, all deeply engaged in their passion for innovation, change, and entrepreneurship. From that structured academic environment, she transitioned to her current role as a coach for a more diverse group of entrepreneurs.Part 3: In our next, next episode, we’ll come full circle and focus back on Waverly. She’s now more than a coach; she’s an entrepreneur herself, actively building her own new venture. It’s a fascinating mix of her ever-evolving experiences.Connect with Us:Waverly Deutsch and Vince ChanChief Change Officer: Make Your Laws of ChangeA Global Home to Career Mastery for Progressive MindsHighest Rankings Since Launch:Business: #6 in UK || #13 in US <> Apple <>Careers: #1 in US and CA || #2 in UK || #3 in SE <> Apple <>420,000+ Streams and 12,500+ Followers <> Apple + Spotify <>Subscribe.
