Cardiff Garcia: Adam Grant, welcome. Luvvie Ajayi Jones, welcome. Malcolm Gladwell, thanks so much for being on the next chapter.

Cardiff Garcia: Hi, I’m Cardiff Garcia, the host of The Next Chapter by American Express Business Class.

Cardiff Garcia: Combined, our guests have sold millions of copies of their influential books, and in this new podcast I’ll be sitting down with each of them to revisit one of their bestselling works that everyone in the world of business can learn from.

Cardiff Garcia: In each episode we’ll hear from the authors themselves about how their advice has evolved since they published their work, and what they’d write for their next chapter.

Angela Duckworth: I feel like passion is in some ways the harder half of grit, that lesson has come home to me in the years since writing the book.”

Mori Tahirapour:  It's funny, so in the pandemic I'm like this isn't going to work, right? And then what I realized was that everything that I said in that chapter, maybe it's even more relevant.

Luvvie Ajayi Jones: Parents were telling me “I wish I had this book when I was 17” and I was like, you know what? I’m going to write one for the teenagers. 

Cardiff Garcia: I want to find out what key moments in their lives put them on the path to success. We'll discuss practical lessons that small business owners and entrepreneurs can apply in their careers.

Priya Parker: Human connection can be as threatened by unhealthy peace as it is by unhealthy conflict.

Luvvie Ajayi Jones: I always tell my team, listen, if all of you agree with my idea, I don't trust it.

Malcolm Gladwell: it is impossible to learn from any of the normal hiring rituals, whether the person you're hiring is right for the job. So my response to that is, well, then don't bother.

Cardiff Garcia: So, for entrepreneurs, business owners, and future leaders shaking up your industry, The Next Chapter by American Express Business Class will be coming soon to your favorite podcast app
