What makes someone excel—whether in sports, science, or life? David Epstein, author of The Sports Gene and Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World, makes a compelling case for the power of breadth over early specialization. From his time as a walk-on track athlete at Columbia University to his time as a science writer and investigative reporter (at Sports Illustrated and ProPublica, among others), David has explored the hidden patterns that lead to success. In this encore episode, recorded in 2021, Guy asks David about his journey from geology student and star athlete to bestselling author. Why a diverse set of skills and experiences often leads to better outcomes, and why embracing range could be the key to your next breakthrough.
