Andrew McConnell
Andrew McConnell is an entrepreneur, author, and former competitive long-distance swimmer whose path runs from the pool to law, consulting, and building businesses. A member of the USA Open Water Swimming National Team and an international bronze medalist, he graduated from Harvard College, Harvard Law School, and the University of Cambridge with honors before working as a management consultant at McKinsey.
He is the founder and CEO of Rented.com, which he grew from under $200K to nearly $10M in revenue in under three years, and the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of Get Out of My Head: Creating Modern Clarity with Stoic Wisdom.
Andrew shares the transformative journey from defining oneself by titles to living by true passion — drawing on stoicism, the discipline forged in elite swimming, and a compelling case for prioritizing effort over talent as the real linchpin of success.
