Episode 245: Jean Oelwang | President Virgin Unite, Co-Founder Plus Wonder, Author of Partnering

Being curious is one of the most important skills we can have. Being curious is what leads to new connections, new opportunities, finding & fulfilling our purpose and the depth of our connections.
— Jean Oelwang

There are so many opportunities to change the world and make a positive impact and it all starts with being curious about the people and the world around you. Jean Oelwang is proof.  As the president of Virgin Unite she’s leading the charitable arm of the Virgin empire, while also co-founding Plus Wonder and author of the book Partnering. Jean knows the coolest people, studies those who are making an impact, and brings people together with shared purpose and commitment to leave the planet a better place. In this episode, we talk about the power of partnerships, the importance of curiosity, and how a meandering life is perhaps even more purposeful than a well planned life.
