Ep 3: Grit, Sacrifice, and Support

While many find inspiration in seeing successful people they can identify with, the majority of people want to know the nuances of how to get through the various social and workplace obstacles we face. The most common feedback from our podcast launch has been how we’ve been able to accomplish our goals.  In response, we’ve identified three key factors which were essential in our journey to pursuing our passions: grit, sacrifice, and support.  Angela Duckworth, in her TEDx talk, defines grit as passion and perseverance for very long-term goals. It’s that ability to become mentally tough and to persevere through tough circumstances.  Join us today as we discuss these factors and how they helped mold us into better versions of ourselves and learn how they can help you as well.   Listen on as we both share our experiences and how we overcame the many obstacles through grit, sacrifice, and support from our loved ones!
