About this Event
What really separates people who succeed from those who stall out?
Talent? Intelligence? Luck?
Or something else entirely?
In this session, we’ll dive into Grit by Angela Duckworth—a powerful, accessible exploration of why long-term perseverance and sustained effort matter more than raw ability in business, investing, and life.
This won’t be a lecture or a recap. It’s a guided discussion focused on real-world application:
- Why some people keep going when things get uncomfortable—and others don’t
- How grit shows up (or fails) in entrepreneurship, investing, careers, and leadership
- When persistence is smart—and when quitting is actually the better decision
- How to cultivate grit without burnout or blind stubbornness
- What grit looks like over years, not weeks
We’ll connect the ideas in the book to business decisions, long-term investing, career growth, and personal goals, with space to share experiences, challenges, and lessons learned.
Whether you’re building a company, growing capital, navigating a career transition, or simply interested in how high performers think and operate over the long run, this will be a thoughtful, motivating conversation.
Come curious. Leave with sharper perspective—and maybe a little more staying power for the long game.
