George Couros shares that he is recording this episode from Central Florida where he is preparing for hurricane Ian. The anxiety he is feeling because of what Ian will bring, made Couros feel a little more productive. These thoughts connect to the story of David and Goliath and how we can rethink what our strengths and weaknesses truly are. Couros reflects on the benefits of his own struggles and how he is shifting his own thinking to see how, if we utilize our weaknesses, they can be our strengths.

Quotes:

"What are some things that you perceive as your own weaknesses?" - George Couros

"How do you look at those weaknesses and shift our thinking to see how that weakness can be a strength?" - George Couros
