What Got You There with Sean DeLaney
What Got You There is a study of mastery, judgment, and the inner lives of people who have become exceptionally good at what they do. For more than a decade, Sean DeLaney has sat down with world-class investors, founders, CEOs, athletes, writers, chefs, artists, and other remarkable performers to understand how they think, what they notice, how they make decisions, and what their lives have taught them. The conversations go beyond tactics and accomplishments into the harder questions: How do you develop unusually good judgment? What does mastery actually require? How do you sustain ambition without being consumed by it? What changes as success compounds? And how do you build a life that is as good on the inside as it looks from the outside? With more than 400 conversations, What Got You There is an ongoing attempt to distill the ideas, practices, stories, and ways of seeing that are worth carrying forward. Sean is a private advisor to a small number of founders, CEOs, and investors, and the author of three books. 🎧 Subscribe to join the journey. 📬 Connect at whatgotyouthere.com
