ABOUT THIS EPISODE
If you're the one who drives, the one who makes it happen, and who's maybe a little uncomfortable letting anyone else take the wheel, then you probably also know the quiet cost of it. That ever-present what-else-what-else, and the bar you keep raising on yourself.
Cate Luzio has channeled that drive further than almost anyone. Two decades running multibillion-dollar businesses at HSBC and J.P. Morgan, and then the bold step: she walked away, bet on herself, and built Luminary — a professional education and networking platform — from nothing. Luminary is now, at eight years old, a global community of more than 15,000 members across 30 countries — and, three acquisitions in, still growing. But what makes Cate Cate is that she's never done: she's still building, still asking what's next, still driving.
On this episode of This Changes Things, Shoshanna (a proud Luminary member herself) gets past the founding story Cate has told many times to what's driving her now: why impact, and not headcount or headlines, is the metric that matters most; what it took to let her team and her community show up for her when she couldn't just push through; and the decisions that get easier once you're clear on your values.
You'll come away thinking differently about what it means to stay in the driver's seat, and when the strongest move is to let someone else drive.
