Defining and Debating the Meaning of Success with Susie Essman

The Takeaway

Success and failure: we talk about them a lot, from the rise of political movements to the fall of ousted leaders to the successes and failures that mark our own private lives.
But how we define success can vary wildly.
In an attempt to explore what, exactly, constitutes success, The Huffington Post is hosting its first ever women’s conference today in New York. It’s called “The Third Metric: Redefining Success Beyond Money and Power.”
Among the panelists is one of our favorite comedians: Susie Essman. An actress, writer, television producer, and voice artist, she’s best known for starring on “Curb Your Enthusiasm.”
