Uncover a transformative conversation with Mesmin Destin, an award-winning researcher and professor. Of Haitian descent, Destin's journey from his modest beginnings in Nebraska to being honored by the American Psychological Association is a testament to resilience and exploration.


🔹 Delve into the intriguing concept of "future identity" - the dynamic mental blueprints of our potential selves that can shape our motivations, behaviors, and success trajectories.

🔹 Destin's research reveals how interactions, environments, and pivotal moments in our lives can either nourish or hinder the formation of our future identity.

🔹 Revisit the dreams of your youth and learn how to awaken your latent talents, as we discuss how to cultivate the right circumstances and relationships to rediscover your hidden genius.
