Adaptability is one of the main attributes of human beings; the ability to adapt and overcome virtually any challenge imposed by nature is one of the main reasons we still walk the earth. But the evolution, the growth is not free; there is a price to pay for it. We can either pay with suffering and pain as we learn and grow or mourn the adverse outcomes of a lesson learned. 

In this episode, we talk about growth and its intimate relationship with uncomfortable situations, pain, and stress. We explore the effects of pressure on our learning process and on leadership. We also look at our responsibility, as leaders, to avoid accumulating problems to solve and be humble enough to ask for help and accept it.
