Derek Sivers is an entrepreneur, author, and speaker. His books include How to Live, Useful Not True, Hell Yeah or No, and Anything You Want.
This clip is from his full conversation with Jim O'Shaughnessy on Infinite Loops.
KEY INSIGHTS
- Every culture marks the move to adulthood. For some, it is a bar mitzvah. For Derek, it was watching his son travel alone.
- Young kids need a manager. Parents help make decisions for them.
- Teenagers need a consultant. At some point, the parent's role shifts from deciding to advising.
