What if the biggest predictor of success isn’t talent... but grit?
According to psychologist Angela Duckworth, grit is: Passion + perseverance for long-term goals. It’s the ability to stay committed, even when things feel hard or uncertain. As Winston Churchill said: “Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.”
In today's quickie, we’re breaking down the psychology of grit, and why your ability to stay consistent matters more than IQ, natural ability, or connections.
If you’ve ever felt behind, not “naturally gifted,” or unsure of your potential... this episode will reframe everything.
