Today, I welcome world-leading psychologist, Adam Grant. Adam is known for his best-selling books, TED Talks, and as an expert advisor on finding meaning & motivation in life. His latest book, Hidden Potential, offers a new framework for unlocking your best self and finding success.

In this interview, Adam and I explore why growth is so important in our lives, and how we can continue to learn and achieve throughout our lives. He teaches us how to make learning genuinely enjoyable, and to find joy in being uncomfortable. He discusses letting go of perfectionism, and shows us how to discover our full potential. Remember, it's okay not to have all the answers, and Jay and Adam will help us navigate that.
