In this episode, I use The Devil Wears Prada and its sequel to explore the mental health costs of ambition, the hidden support systems that help us succeed, and how to pursue excellence without sacrificing our relationships, identity, and sense of self.

  • Visionary vs. vendor
  • Ambition and burnout
  • Wants vs. needs
  • The cost of success
  • Hidden mentors (“Nigels”)
  • Mixed motives and self-honesty
  • Print vs. digital attention
  • Success without losing yourself
