Episode Synopsis

The idea of a prodigy sounds amazing. It gives you an automatic excuse to not be great at things. Except they don't exist.That's according to Anders Ericsson, who studied these figures for decades. The thing he found was that every single one was trained at an early age with someone who kept them interested and learning.We all have the ability to do great things. We've just been lied to by those not willing to put in the work. By the people who were taught you were either born with it or you don't have it. Nothing is further from the truth.No excuses!
