šļøBill Gates: 'If you are successful, you have to give back'
Plus: Four habits to transform your mornings
šļøNow on āOn Purposeā
On yesterdayās podcast episode, I sat down with the innovator-turned-philanthropist Bill Gates. We had an amazing conversation about personal growth, relationships, technology and giving back to make the world a better place.
Bill got candid about his upbringing, sharing stories about how his parents influenced his work, his attitude toward service and his availability as a parent. He also reflected on how grief has guided his mission as a philanthropist. You can read more about all of this in Billās new book, Source Code: My Beginnings.

The conversation shifted, and we talked about the promiseāas well as the dangerāof increasingly powerful AI technology, the threats of climate change and the impact philanthropic endeavors such as the Gates Foundation can have on people around the world. Bill talks about the moral necessity for the wealthy to give back and support people everywhere and his personal mission to recruit other billionaires and people in positions of power to his cause.

Bill is such a brilliant and influential person, and I am so grateful for the chance to talk with him directly. This episode is an instant classic. Donāt miss it.
