🔥 Why Grit Beats Talent: The Science of Success with Angela Duckworth
Season 1
What if success isn’t about talent, IQ, or natural ability—but something deeper?
In this eye-opening episode, we unpack Angela Lee Duckworth’s groundbreaking research on grit—the powerful blend of passion and perseverance for long-term goals.
💡 From West Point cadets to struggling students in Chicago, Duckworth discovered that grit—not intelligence—is the best predictor of success across all walks of life. You’ll hear how her journey from management consulting to teaching middle school math sparked her obsession with what truly drives achievement.
🧑‍🏫 Learn why gritty people win the long game, how growth mindset (coined by Dr. Carol Dweck) supports resilience, and why talent alone isn’t enough to push through failure. Whether you're a parent, educator, student, or someone chasing ambitious goals, this episode delivers the mindset shift you didn’t know you needed. 🚀
