3. When Opportunity Knocks: Creating Plans while Staying Open to Possibility in Your Life w/ Malcolm Netburn

In this episode we're talking with Malcolm Netburn. Malcolm has served in a number of critical roles, including as the chairman and CEO of CDS Global, a subsidiary of Hearst Media, for over 15 years. He also served as CTO at Scholastic, publishing director at the Christian Science Monitor, and CEO and chairman at Chemical Week Associates.

He had a lot to share about what he's learned along the way. From the importance of finding people you can learn from, to the necessity of creating balance between planning and staying open to unexpected opportunities. I hope you'll find something here to support you on your journey as Malcolm shares what he'd tell himself from where he is today.

When asked what he'd tell his younger self Malcom said he'd “ Do things with a lightness..." instead of making each moment so serious. He also shared an important reflection that "...I've never seen long term success from doing something at the expense of somebody else's feelings.”

I hope you find something here to support you on your journey as he shares what he'd tell himself from where he is today.

I also want to acknowledge that my perspective is one of privilege as a cis, hetero, white woman. While I make every effort to ensure I'm well informed beyond my bubble - I will make mistakes. It is never my intention to harm, and always my intention to repair and learn from mistakes I've made. While sometimes our mistakes are obvious, others need to be pointed out so that we can see and learn from them. I welcome your feedback on these issues and promise to do my best to be respectful, receptive and to continue learning from you.
