No, I love this.

I love this.

Yeah, there's like, there can be this attitude of like nonchalance.

That like I'm unaffected.

And it's almost like as a result.

We don't allow for like for being earnest and for like leaning into things that we love or that we feel excited about or feel enthusiasm for.

And I have just decided that I'm really leaning in and nonchalance can take a backseat.

I wanted to look back at Dyson Heppel, yesterday's football player, his episode, because I felt like there were moments there that really exemplified the topic of grit.

Which is what I wanted to explore today.

Really?

So I'm going to play this and hopefully it makes sense.

Well, first of all, you know, I think it would be really worthwhile to go back and listen to the whole episode because I think it's a great example of the concept of grit.

And, you know, there were a couple of things that he mentioned in there around, you know, like all this hard work and here he was playing and experiencing the passion of what he loves.

And they're two enormous components of grit, right?

So I have to start this episode by bowing down to the researcher behind GRIT, who is Dr. Angela Duckworth, an incredible researcher who has a book called GRIT.

And all of the concepts that I will mention today are really based upon a lot of her work.

And she defines GRIT as having passion and perseverance for long-term goals.

We have these two components here.

We have passion.

This is kind of this deep interest engagement with something that's meaningful to us.
