Grit, Gold, and the Two Types of Toughness - Lindsey Vonn (Olympic Champion) & Angela Duckworth (Author)

As the most decorated American skier in history, Olympic champion Lindsey Vonn has a resume that speaks for itself - highlighted by a record 82 World Cup event victories, 20 more than any other woman in history. Angela Duckworth’s academic record is perhaps the closest comparison - with highlights such as bestselling author of the book Grit: The Power of Passion & Perseverance, and recipient of the prestigious MacArthur Genius Grant - and their conversation overachieves too: funny, curious and yet still on-point, they share their stories and what they’ve learned about how the greats deal with stress and pressure in different arenas.
