We cover the neuroscience behind why your brain gets stronger at not giving up, the four elements of grit (interest, practice, purpose and hope), why embarrassment and fear of failure are learned behaviours, and the parable of the bricklayers that changed how I think about purpose. 📚 Based on Grit by Angela Duckworth  🎙️ Inspired by The Mel Robbins Podcast with Angela Duckworth  Follow us on Socials @keeganandcompanypodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
