  • Excited for Season 2!

    Loved the first season of Grit and Growth and I’m so glad it’s back for a second one. The approach is rigorous and academic, but the stories and guests have all the complexity of the real-world problems that my business faces. I find it really inspiring, and I learn something tangible every episode, especially about parts of the world I’m unfamiliar with. Keep up the excellent work!
