What Got You There with Sean DeLaneyAuthor: Sean DeLaney
What Got You There is a study of mastery, judgment, and the inner lives of people who have become exceptionally good at what they do. For more than a decade, Sean DeLaney has sat down with world-class investors, founders, CEOs, athletes, writers, chefs, artists, and other remarkable performers to understand how they think, what they notice, how they make decisions, and what their lives have taught them. The conversations go beyond tactics and accomplishments into the harder questions: How do you develop unusually good judgment? What does mastery actually require? How do you sustain ambition without being consumed by it? What changes as success compounds? And how do you build a life that is as good on the inside as it looks from the outside? With more than 400 conversations, What Got You There is an ongoing attempt to distill the ideas, practices, stories, and ways of seeing that are worth carrying forward. Sean is a private advisor to a small number of founders, CEOs, and investors, and the author of three books. Subscribe to join the journey.

Howard Marks & Michael Mauboussin: The Art of Clear Thinking
Tuesday, 22 September, 2026
Over the history of this podcast there are two people who have probably influenced the way I think more than anyone else: Howard Marks and Michael Mauboussin. For this special episode, I went back through my conversations with both of them and brought together the sections I continue to learn from. They were recorded separately, but the ideas speak to each other in a way that becomes especially powerful when you hear them together. Howard Marks on standing apart from the herd, why "it's not what you buy, it's what you pay," the decision he's proudest of (deploying $7B during the 2008 crisis), and the most important thing in life outside of investing. Michael Mauboussin hita on the discipline of clear thinking, why behavioral mistakes are the most durable source of edge, the decision journal Daniel Kahneman told him to keep, and how his career was launched by a trash can.
