Devin: Abhi, what do you think of as your superpower?Abhi: Devin, I have no idea... What is my superpower? Something I’ve heard often is actually the ability to have these kinds of open, hard, vulnerable conversations with people and see that turn into something meaningful for the other person and myself.“Just because this person is wearing a hat that has the opposite message of what I believe doesn’t mean that we can’t have a meaningful conversation,” says Abhi Nangia, founder of BetterWorldEd.org

Devin: Well, Lee, what is your superpower?Lee: So I love that you ask people this question.

Devin: What do you see as being your superpower? Mark: Well, I hesitate to use the word superpower. I mean, I’m proud of the stuff I’ve been able to accomplish. It’s all been done with great teams at great organizations by and large, so there was always a team effort behind it.

Devin: Justin, what is your superpower?Justin: What is my superpower? Oh, man, you know, if I was a fundraiser, I’d answer this differently than if I was the founder of a company. So, I would just say, and I’ll kind of explain this a little bit more, but I’m an incredibly optimistic person, which allows me to make big bets and take big risks without the consequence—without the fear of what the consequences might be if we don’t hit that target.Justin Wheeler, CEO of Funraise, a complete digital

Chapter 60: Patience and Optimism - Bill GatesDevin: A few years ago, you wrote about superpowers in your annual letter. What is your superpower?Bill: Well, if I have one, it has something to do with optimism about scientific innovation and being able to gather teams of people.

Devin: Melissa, what is your superpower?Melissa: I think it might just be that stick-to-itiveness. In the early days, we were a nonprofit and I was doing that full time. I had a master's degree. I was in my late 20s and was doing plasma to pay for groceries. I'd go at 6:00 a.m. because it was really embarrassing to run into people when I was at that level and those were the options I had. I was doing that. I was running dogs for money. I was teaching dance classes in my roommate's basement—and so
