"Ain't the death of capitalism great!" Zoom: Surprising Ways to Supercharge Your Career by Daniel Roberts
Wednesday, 19 November, 2025
Is your career in a tailspin? Have you been wandering blindly from one dead-end job to the next, hoping the universe will throw you a bone? Well, great news—wealthy CEOs are here to tell you how to fix your life! In this week’s episode of Elton Reads A Book A Week, Elton dives into Fortune Zoom: Surprising Ways to Supercharge Your Career—a book where Fortune Magazine corrals its “40 Under 40” wunderkinds to dispense what they believe passes for practical career advice.Is it useful? Maybe. Is it relatable? Absolutely not. But does Elton’s brain snap in increasingly entertaining ways as he tries to make sense of it? Oh, very much so.From Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh’s crusade for “company culture,” to closets full of costumes for adults, to Marissa Mayer yeeting herself from Google into Yahoo’s hot seat—you’ll hear what these innovators supposedly did to “supercharge” their careers, and how you (a normal human with bills) are supposedly meant to do the same.Packed with maniacal rants, sharp satire, and the occasional inspirational nugget buried under layers of skepticism, this episode explores the realities of hard work, risk-taking, and the glossy mythmaking behind success stories. Plus, Elton tries to decide whether this advice is motivational, delusional, or just really good comedy fodder.Come listen to Elton’s brain break. It’s educational… in its own way.GET THE BOOK: From AmazonFrom an Indie Book Seller - Sorry, no listing for the indies.
