EPISODE DESCRIPTION
Graham Weaver, Lecturer at Stanford Graduate School of Business and Founder of Alpine Investors, delivers his final lecture to the GSB Class of 2025: How to Design a Winnable Game. In this powerful talk, Graham tells the story of how he built one of the top performing private equity firms in the world by throwing away all the rules and designing his own “winnable game.” Graham challenges students to ask themselves a question he wrestled with at the lowest point in his career during the 2008 Financial Crisis: “Why am I playing a game I don't even want to win?” He also outlines a practical roadmap for anyone looking to step off the crowded path, design a game that aligns with your true passion, and—most importantly—how to start playing your game now. #mindset #career #motivation #goals Graham Weaver Social & Website Youtube: @grahamcweaver Instagram: @grahamcweaver Tiktok: @grahamcweaver Website: grahamweaver.com Newsletter: grahamweaver.com/subscribe
