Greg Osborne: 我认为带孩子们露营是一件非常有趣的事情。我们每个月都会去露营，探索帕洛阿尔托附近的每一个露营地。为了方便露营，我专门制作了一个露营箱，里面装满了各种露营所需的物品，如餐具、调料等。孩子们非常喜欢这些露营活动，他们会围坐在篝火旁，分享各种露营的故事。这些经历不仅增进了我们家庭成员之间的感情，也为孩子们创造了美好的回忆。

Deep Dive

Most people fail at leadership because they complicate what should be simple. Greg Osborn’s approach is different. After leading in Vietnam, raising a family with old-school work ethic, and building businesses in Silicon Valley as the tech boom took off, he learned that success comes from two things: giving people the right training and keeping them motivated.

In this conversation, Greg breaks down why teams succeed or fail based on this simple principle — and how you can apply it in business, family, and life. You’ll hear how his leadership lessons from the Vietnam battlefield translated into managing people, teaching his kids, and running companies.

This is timeless advice that still works today — practical, proven, and refreshingly clear.
