207: Change is Coming: Be Ready to Adapt
Author, futurist, and speaker George Chanos served as Nevada's 31st Attorney General from 2005 to 2007. As a young child, George was struck by the outpouring of admiration and grief when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. From that moment onward, he was determined to serve, and during his most formative years, he aimed for the highest office in the land. His role as Attorney General was one step closer to his goal, but after spending a few years deep in the political arena, he determined there were ways to serve the greater good that would better align with his values, so running for elected office was no longer a goal for him.
George is the author of two books, Seize Your Destiny: Choices That Lead to a Happy, Successful, and Meaningful Life. and Millennial Samurai: A Mindset for the 21st Century. His original intent in writing his first book was to leave a legacy for his daughter and nephew after suffering a heart attack in his early 50s. Once he recovered, he realized that there was more he wanted to do to help prepare the next generation for the rapid changes that he saw emerging in our culture, business world, and society at large.
George serves on several boards, including as Chairman of the Board, Capriotti’s Sandwich Shop, Inc., with over 200 stores in 20 states. He also speaks to large groups regularly on a variety of topics: Think and Thrive: A Mindset for the 21st Century, How to Surf the Technological Tsunami, Change is Coming: Are You Ready?, and Finding Opportunity in Adversity.
In this week’s Work From The Inside Out podcast, learn more about George’s journey:
Before serving as Nevada's AG, George had a robust legal career representing individual and corporate clients on the growth and management of their businesses.
As Nevada’s AG, he successfully argued (9/0) Whorton v. Bockting, 549 U.S. 406 (2007), before the United States Supreme Court.
George’s parents divorced when he was very young. Dividing his time between rural Wisconsin and Las Vegas, he learned to adapt and live in both environments. He felt it prepared him well for all of life’s changes.
