  • The emotional strength to learn

    Today I'm talking to Stephanie Horwitz, the host of the "What should I do with my life" podcast.

    I wanted to speak with Steph because she's a proactive lifelong learner who's pivoted her personal life a few times - a clear sign of lifelong learning. Our discussion surprised me as we strayed from the cognitive side of learning towards the emotional side of what's required to really be a lifelong learner.
