In this episode of Masters of Scale, host Jeff Berman interviews Suzy Welch, author and professor, about her new book, "Becoming You," and the methodology it presents for crafting an authentic life. Welch discusses the importance of understanding one's values, aptitudes, and economically viable interests to find purpose, or what she terms the "area of transcendence." She distinguishes between virtues and values, emphasizing that values are individual choices that often conflict, requiring intentional management.
