Episode notes

I think it's a rare parent who's comfortable with their child doing something that is a little scary, or a little daring. I studied music, dance, theatre and college. The amount of time someone would ask me, so what are you going to do with that? And the amount of times that i was like, you know what, i'm not sure. But i felt very deeply that this was, this was the path i needed to be on. It gave me great freedom to enjoy that and try and develop that without worrying about the future.

Anna McKeown joins Greg for a candid conversation on identifying your unique strengths and recognizing innate impulses as gifts meant to be awakened and developed. They discuss embracing what can be perceived as weakness, as well as creating a culture of resilience and the courage to allow for failure. They talk about the value and importance of applying these insights for ourselves and as parents to our children.
