Theo Epstein recently sat down with David Axelrod and gave some great insight as to how he rose in the ranks of baseball so quickly. If you recall, Epstein was the youngest GM in the history of baseball when he took the reigns of the Boston Red Sox in 2002. He then promptly ended the Red Sox 86-year championship drought two years later and the rest as they say, is history.
The fact that Epstein was leading a Major League ball club at an age where most of us were stuck in shitty jobs that we hate is pretty interesting to think about. What did he do different? How did he rise so quickly? Did he actually sell his soul to the Devil for a World Series championship ring?
Ok, the last one may have been an exaggeration but you get my point.
Epstein shared the secret to his success on Axelrod’s podcast and it’s still a philosophy that he stands by today.
