7 Street-Smart Skills They Don’t Teach You In College

Michael Ellsberg -

A photo I snapped that night in Washington Square Park where we talked about Michaels New Book - The Education of Millionaires

 

In June this year while visiting Lewis Howes in New York City,  Lewis introduced me to author Michael Ellsberg.

We met at a Cuban night club and spent several hours drinking and dancing to the sounds of one of Cuba’s top bands.

As the evening progressed we made our way to Washington Square Park to wind down the night.

We spent hours talking about life and the mysteries of the universe. At one point the topic of Higher Education came up. This was a natural lead in to Michael’s new book “The Education of Millionaires“.

As both a parent concerned about my children’s education and an entrepreneur who did not graduate from college, it is an interesting topic. I have many friends who are very successful, and the ones who are most successful did not graduate from College. So, naturally, this topic has always fascinated me.

We had a long discussion where Michael shared with me fascinating details of interviews with millionaires and billionaires like the Founder of Napster Sean Parker, Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz, WordPress creator Matt Mullenweg, fashion designer Marc Ecko.

So when Michael launched his new book “The Education of Millionaires”, Lewis lined up a webinar for our audience to hear some of the core principles outlined in the book.

It was a fascinating webinar that got many “This was the best webinar ever” type comments.
Here is a replay of the webinar “The 7 Street-Smart Skills They Don’t Teach You In College” by Michael Ellsberg.

So this is almost like a modern day “Think and Grow Rich” isn’t it? Sounds pretty awesome.

That and there’s a David Gilmour in it? Pink Floyd is my favorite band. That totally sold me on the idea :) .

Excellent. Very compatible with my system.

Regardless of any controversy surrounding this book, I like this guy because he’s invested in actual relationships with people. That’s some good shit.

I sent this to my twins who are in college as well as jobseekers I know. I have told my kids for years to practice the Golden Rule. You get what you give and when we have a genuine interest in others we never, ever stop learning. That includes our ability to build and nurture our relationships.

Sean,
Thank you for the chance to listen to Michael Ellsberg’s webinar here. Amongst the life awesome stories/lessons, the one I like the most is about his mom learning from him. As a parent, it was a time when I was teaching my children, then learning with them, and now I am excited to learn from them. My 21 years old is a wiz, creator of video games, and enthusiast about technology. So much to learn from him! It is a continuous renewal of a relationship, awesome, evolved and mature, more satisfying for those who accept it, like Michael’s mom.

This is great video, thanks Sean & Lewis.

You really need to share this video with your contacts, as well as watching it yourself as soon as you have a moment. Top notch work. Guys!

Hi Sean,

I think it is too late for me to compete for the book. As a matter of fact, there is no indication of the date of the post, so… I really don’t know where am I in time related to it.

I just wanted to say your blog is nice and I have a lot to learn from it.
Actually I wanted to submit to your newsletter, but I couldn’t find it.

Just wanted to say I follow you on Tw, LI & FB and hope we get to work together sometime.
I am on Michael’s program via Tim Ferris’s blog and in 8 months I will be able to “graduate” from it.

All the best, DC
