Episode 1 - Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance with Angela Duckworth

How far can a person get on talent alone? Angela Duckworth is a researcher, teacher, MacArthur Fellow, and bestselling author who has dedicated her career to the pursuit of finding out what different factors can lead a person to be successful. In her book, “Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance,” Duckworth draws from a mixture of firsthand experiences, interviews with high-performers and academic research to make the case that a person’s ability to overcome setbacks may actually be their most valuable trait. Duckworth and host Cardiff Garcia discuss her personal relationship to the idea of “genius,” the benefits of mentorship and how life has changed since the publication of “Grit.”
