The Innovator's Mindset PodcastHelping Every Student Find Their Path to Success - November23 Highlights from the #InnovatorsMindsetGeorge Couros kicks off this last highlight video of 2023 with a reminder about the great messages the guests bring to this podcast! Couros begins with a reflection on a book that he is currently reading and shares a struggle he has with the idea of mastery.
