  • Summary

  • In this episode, we explore the profound lessons from Angela Duckworth's book 'Grit' and their application to the business world. The discussion delves into the concept of naturalness bias and our admiration for naturally gifted individuals like Usain Bolt and Simone Biles. It contrasts this with the importance of grit—relentless perseverance and passion towards long-term goals. Real-life examples such as Ryland Clark in entertainment and Amazon's Jeff Bezos in commerce illustrate how grit leads to success. We also discuss the significance of having an 'infinite cause' for sustaining business success through challenges and changing market conditions. Tune in to understand how grit can shape both personal achievements and organisational triumphs.
