Part of Jim Carroll’s 2021 Reinvention interview series, exploring how people adapt, rebuild and change direction.

The process of reinvention involves unbounded limits of optimism. After all, you are often leaping into the unknown, driven by uncertainty and surrounded by ways of self-doubt! I’m busy working on my book “Now What: Reinvention and the Role of Optimism in Our Post-Covid World,” and decided to interview someone who has that limitless optimism. So I decided to interview myself! Give it a watch!
