How much does natural talent actually matter? We’ve all heard people say, “If I had that kind of talent, I’d be famous too,” but is it just that simple or is there more to it? In this episode, we talk about why some talents are easier to recognize (and reward) than others, how family and environment shape self-perception as well as ability, and the invisible roadblocks—like self-doubt or trauma—that can hold people back no matter how gifted they are. And, ultimately, we dig into the difference between raw ability and what it takes to actually achieve some discernible success. We also talk about unglamorous truths—like how hard it can be to know what you’re good at, or how easy it is to underestimate your own abilities.Also: moose poop on a stool. You’ll see...😁
