203. Become The Unbeatable Man | EP. 0203

During the Great Depression, men ate the leather off their shoes and stood in line at the docks for hours just for a shot at a 15-hour workday and they pushed through all of it without quitting, because quitting wasn't an option. That superpower has a name: grit, the one trait psychologist Angela Duckworth found in every high achiever from special operations to elite entrepreneurs. And if you think it's factory-installed in successful men, it's not... this dumb guy figured it out on the way from Section 8 housing and food stamps to a $200 million net worth. In this episode I'm breaking down the three components of grit, passion, perseverance, and obsession, and showing you how to become what I call a cockweed: impossible to kill, grows through concrete, and stays locked in no matter how long it takes.
