143: How to raise future CEOs with Esther Wojcicki

Published: Sept. 3, 2019, 4 a.m.

b'If there\\u2019s one thing journalist and teacher, Esther Wojcicki, knows, it\\u2019s how to empower children. She has raised some pretty successful daughters\\u2014Susan, Anne, and Janet\\u2014who have grown up to become the CEO of YouTube, the co-founder and CEO of 23andMe, and the assistant professor at the UCSF with a Ph.D. and master\\u2019s in public health, respectively (Janet also spoke at our revitalize event in 2015!). Not only has Wojcicki learned the importance of empowerment in raising her own family, but she makes it a point to empower the children she teaches in school. A firm believer in making mistakes, Wojcicki knows how to create uplifting environments where kids can flourish and take healthy risks. \\nWhen I sat down with Wojcicki on this week\\u2019s episode of the podcast, we chatted about her book, How To Raise Successful People, as well as the advice she would give to parents who want to empower their own children. Her instruction was simple, yet has remained with me since: treat your kids like adults.\\xa0\\nLearn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices'
