The Legacy of Tony Hsieh | Alfred Lin & Fred Mossler
Manage episode 313114070 series 3259452
All of us at Delivering Happiness were shocked and heartbroken at the passing of our Co-Founder, friend, and catalyst of the Delivering Happiness movement, Tony Hsieh. Tony was all about community and connectedness, so what better way to honor him than to talk about his ripple of impact with two of his best friends, Alfred Lin and Fred Mossler? Along with our CEO Jenn Lim, Alfred and Fred discuss Tony's legacy including what they learned from him, what made him unique, funny, and human.
Alfred Lin is a venture capitalist & partner at sequoia capital. He & Tony met as undergraduates at Harvard & went on to work together at Link Exchange and then Zappos where Alfred served as COO and CFO
Fred Mossler met Tony when he left Nordstrom’s to join Zappos in 1999 where he was initially the senior vice president of merchandising and eventually moved up to take the official title of “No Title” at Zappos for the next 15 years. Since then, Fred has been an entrepreneur focusing on the Las Vegas Downtown revitalization project he & tony started, The Life is good Music Festival, and numerous non-profit philanthropies.
One of the most important elements of Delivering Happiness, first and foremost, is to be true to your (weird) authentic self.
Tony was so many things to so many people, as it shows in every tribute and memory that have been shared across the media. but the one thing consistent throughout all that was he was fiercely true to himself, while architecting greenhouses for everyone to be true to themselves too.
From tears to laughter, we’ve reminisced about Tony, where DH started and where it is today. From launching the book to evolving it into a company, everyone was feeling his impact within themselves and the gratitude that we get to share this ripple of impact from our authentic selves out to the world.
Messages have been pouring in from around the world, from people living all different facets of life. Tony treated everyone equally and will also be remembered for living our core value of “change the world more than you ever thought possible.” He has irreversibly changed it.
Rest in peace & happiness, Tony.
