The ego often stands as a formidable barrier to cultivating a growth mindset. It can cause us to stray from learning and strive for recognition and develop fixed mindset attitudes. In this thought-provoking episode, we delve deep into the fascinating realm of ego and its profound influence on our personal and professional growth.

We'll share real-life stories of individuals and organizations who have grappled with the challenges of ego, from the towering successes to the unexpected failures. Through these captivating narratives, you'll gain a deeper understanding of how ego-driven behavior can derail even the most promising journeys.

Discover the dangers of ego in the early stages of your endeavors, where the desire for instant success can blind you to valuable opportunities for learning and improvement.

Life is like a Rubik's cube, sometimes you have to mess it up to make it better. Solving puzzles isn't just a hobby, but a path to personal growth and success.
