Episode notes

Embracing a growth mindset involves teaching kids to embrace failure, mistakes, and hard work, and to understand that life's challenges are opportunities for growth. This mindset is contrasted with a previously held rigid and fixed mindset. The speaker emphasizes the importance of teaching kids that winning or learning from mistakes is more valuable than perfection. Additionally, the fundamental habits of eating, moving, sleeping, breathing, and focusing the mind are highlighted as crucial for personal development.

In this episode, I speak with Brian Johnson, the Founder & CEO of Heroic Public Benefit Corporation. Brian is the author of a new book called Areté: Activate Your Heroic Potential.
