TRC Podcast - Episode 010 - 'Grit OR There's a Lot Of Truth In Those Old Clichés'

Wherein Dom immediately forgets to introduce himself, we notice that Matt's pretending to be intellectual by virtue of wearing glasses, Dom thinks people are always talking about him, and Matt had flonchitis.

 

We discuss erections, weight loss, the balance of all things TRC, pipe-benders & theodolites, Dom's (highly successful thus far) Pozible campaign, naming & shaming, Alanis Morissette puns, how Matt got sick.

 

And: Our first podcast subscriber conversation suggestion: GRIT - what it is and how to get it. This conversation begins with discussing of a book called GRIT by Angela Duckworth. How the notion of GRIT (effort over talent) has informed our careers as professional musicians.

 

Plus: Dom learns Matt doesn't know how to play a scale, the flawed idea that if you can't be the best then why bother, "there's a lot of truth in those old clichés", GRIT: 1. Develop A Fascination; 2. Aim To Improve Daily; 3. Remind Yourself Of The Greater Purpose; 4. Adopt A Growth Mindset.
