The Ayn Rand Institute and STRIVE Clubs co-presented the Fall Student Conference on "The Morality of Value Creation & Trade" in Atlanta, GA from Nov 6-8, 2015. This conference was made possible by the support of The Michael & Andrea Leven Foundation.
TALK SUMMARY
Alex Epstein speaks about how to forge a career path for yourself by identifying the meaningful and differentiated value you wish to offer, and developing the required skill set and knowledge to deliver it.
Alex thinks that we are often not focused on the essentials of what will govern our career success, but on standard practices or certifications. These can be valuable, but must be thought of as means to an end, rather than an end in themselves.
His unique perspective on creating a differentiated value proposition has enabled him to create a new market for moral ideas in the energy industry.
