Are you a giver or a taker? Have you ever struggled to find work/life balance? How do you build resilience in yourself, your team, or your children?

I tackle these topics and many more in this interview with my special guest, Adam Grant.

In this interview, we cover a lot, including:

How to tell if you are a giver or a taker (Spoiler: if you just told yourself you’re a giver, you might be in for a rude awakening)
How Adam filters down hundreds of ideas and opportunities to the select few he focuses on
How to tell if your business idea is a winner or a huge waste of time
Why “quick to start and slow to finish” is great advice for budding entrepreneurs
How to nurture creativity and resilience in your children (or team culture)
How to create positive competitive environments that bring out the best in people
Adam’s two core family values and how he instills them in his children
“Mental time travel” and how it can make you resilient to any challenge or obstacle
Why “how can I be more productive” is the wrong question to ask (and what to ask instead)
How Adam and I each address the topic of work/life balance

And so much more.
