Today is part two of an interview with Chieh Huang, the CEO of Boxed, an online and mobile membership-free wholesale retailer that offers direct delivery of bulk-sized packages. Founded in 2013, there’s really one simple idea behind Boxed: make shopping for bulk easy, convenient and fun, so you can focus on the things that really matter.  But there’s much more going on behind the scenes, especially in the HR department, and that’s really what got me interested in having this conversation. Chieh Huang has such a refreshing perspective when it comes to his employees that it’s hard not to be a fan. Have a money question? Email me here.

If you dabble or delay, you’ll never catch up to the people who got a head start. But a closer look at research on the world’s top performers, from professional athletes to Nobel laureates, shows that early specialization is the exception, not the rule.   Our guest this weekend, David Epstein, uses his latest book, Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World, to examine the world’s most successful athletes, artists, musicians, inventors, forecasters and scientists.
