Two Percent with Michael Easter

The Psychologist for Billionaires: How the Top 0.01% Actually Think | Dr. Julie Gurner

Episode Description from the Publisher

Dr. Julie Gurner has a two-year waiting list. The Wall Street Journal calls her the real-life Wendy Rhodes (the psychologist from the show Billions). Her clients are CEOs, founders, billionaires, and elite operators. But she started her career inside a supermax prison. In this episode, Michael Easter sits down with Dr. Julie to unpack what actually separates the top 0.01% from everyone else: audacity, what-if-it-goes-right thinking, and using anger as fuel. She also explains why "be humble" might be the worst career advice you have ever received.  Two Percent is hosted by Michael Easter.
