Shownotes

Have you ever heard the terms “natural ability” or “God-given talent”? Have you ever been told you're inherently incapable and should give up trying? Have you ever told this to yourself?

The talent obsession abounds in education, media and our mind. Not only is it hogwash, it seriously jeopardises our learning.

The idea that ability for a certain sport or pursuit is inbuilt and determines our chances of success is one of the biggest holes in the conventional wisdom on learning.

But it’s not only that. If you believe this is true, you will never be able to get good. It’s an extraordinarily disempowering belief.

Let's bust the talent myth and start creating the mentality we need to get great.
