Honesty and Pursuing Your Passions
A writer realized it was hypocritical to write about entrepreneurship without doing it herself. She learned to be honest with herself and pursue what makes her happy, even if it goes against others' opinions. She left jobs that didn't fit and found one she loved, but eventually left to pursue something else she loved even more, fearing the regret of not trying.
Clay Finck and Polina Pompliano discuss her book "Hidden Genius," exploring mental frameworks of high performers to unlock their full potential.
After five years of writing The Profile, Polina Marinova Pompliano has studied hundreds of successful people and examined how they reason their way through problems, unleash their creativity, navigate relationships, and perform under extreme pressure.
