Casual Convos Episode 3: Grit to Grow

It takes grit to grow and persevere.  Two members of the Casual Convos hosting crew, Col. Mark Shuster, USMC, and US Air Force Veteran, Oscar Vaughn, share the challenges they faced adapting to civilian life and how they made it through on sheer passion.  They also reflect on the work of author, Angela Duckworth, and her NYT best selling book, Grit, The Power of Passion and Perseverance.

 

 

In this instant New York Times bestseller, pioneering psychologist Angela Duckworth shows anyone striving to succeed—be it parents, students, educators, athletes, or business people—that the secret to outstanding achievement is not talent but a special blend of passion and persistence she calls “grit.”
