Priscilla Talks Success A La Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers

Success is kind of like the triangulation of GPS systems - nonlinear. In this episode, CEO and Momma Bird Priscilla McKinney talks about her journey to success through the lens of Malcolm Gladwell's bestseller Outliers. Where humanity celebrates a simplified "rags to riches" style tale of human ingenuity, Priscilla opts for a more realistic view that encompasses the bumpy path of entrepreneurship. She dishes on an important success, a devastating failure, a pivotal stroke of luck, and a Matrix-style bullet dodge that shaped her path to running a host of successful businesses.  If you like this podcast, you'll definitely be interested in Priscilla's blog The Joke of Meritocracy.  SPONSORS: In partnership with GreenBook, we're excited to host and award one podcast in the insights industry the title and glory of MR Podcast of the Year.  Know a podcast making (audio) waves in the industry?
