Episode notes

Having a growth mindset alone is insufficient for success; it is crucial to be in an environment that supports growth. In a 'culture of genius,' where only the best and brightest are valued, even individuals with a growth mindset can be hindered. In such environments, labeled as not geniuses, there is limited room for progress and development. Therefore, for real advancement, it is essential to not only possess a growth mindset but also be in a conducive growth-oriented setting.

Join me for an exhilarating journey with the iconic Guy Kawasaki, whose storied career takes us from the early days at Apple to his influential role at Canva, and as an author who continues to shape the business world. Listen in as we explore the concept of a growth mindset through Guy's eyes, drawing on personal stories from his time with Apple and the opportunities he's seized—or missed—throughout his career. Guy reflects on pivotal moments, like candidly challenging Steve Jobs and the subsequent twists his career took, including the lucrative roles he turned down. The discussion reveals how embracing a growth mindset, as advocated by Carol Dweck, has influenced Guy's decisions and permeates the message of his latest book. It's a revealing look at the balance between seizing chances and the wisdom gleaned from the roads not taken. Tune in for an inspiring conversation that might just change your perspective on success and the potential for growth in every one of us..
