You know who you are. Now what kind of life are you going to build? We continue exploring one of the most transformative courses Cherie took at Stanford’s GSB by the late and great Professor Joel Peterson. This is Part 2 of Cherie's Masterclass on Engineering a Remarkable Life. In this episode, we dive into the final two pillars of Joel's framework: Someone to Love and Work to Do.
Tune in for lessons on:
✅ How to intentionally build stronger relationships
✅ The "Operationalizing Love" framework for turning good intentions into lasting habits
✅ How to identify your life partner via must-haves vs.nice-to-haves
✅ Building meaningful work beyond a paycheck and surviving vs. thriving
✅ Why "rain will fall on your fields" and how to prepare for the difficult seasons of life
From choosing a life partner to finding meaningful work, these are the questions that shape the course of a lifetime. We hope these lessons inspire you to approach life with more intention, purpose, and agency.
