IN EPISODE 84:
Whether it's how kids fare at school or the way adults perform at work, we've developed a disabling attitude towards achievement.
Too much grooming, not enough patience and an unhealthy outlook on the value of struggling have gotten in the way of progress. It turns out that if you want to build emotionally strong, determined and ambitious adults, the best thing to do is get out of the way. This episode is a must-listen for parents, coaches and anyone who wants to raise a successful adult - or help employees become their most successful selves.
