From Mistakes to Meaning: virtual book debut with Michael Lynton & Josh Steiner, hosted by Roy Bahat
Join us for a sneak peek conversation with co-authors Michael Lynton and Joshua L. Steiner, in conversation with Roy Bahat of Bloomberg Beta.
Michael Lynton, former CEO of Sony Entertainment, and Joshua L. Steiner, former Chief of Staff at the U.S. Department of the Treasury and executive at Bloomberg LP, will release their new book on February 24: From Mistakes to Meaning: Owning Your Past So It Doesn’t Own You.
In From Mistakes to Meaning, Michael and Josh tell rare stories about their own mistakes, and then include the stories of others. They talk about how to confront the mistakes that define pivotal moments in their careers, so our past can become a source of clarity instead of shame.
📚 We will also give pre-order copies of the book to attendees, so you can receive the book on the day it comes out (officially launching Feb 24).
