David Epstein, the brilliant author of Range and The Sports Gene talks to me about lots of topics from why children should sample lots of different sports from a young age, to why making mistakes as you learn leads to holding onto the knowledge longer and why being OK with being misunderstood as you navigate your career can lead to a more fulfilling job.

Some of the books that we mention are Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother and Grit.
