The Power of Not Knowing It's Impossible

What if the only thing standing between you and achieving the "impossible" is simply not knowing it's supposed to be impossible? In this captivating episode of The Building Better Humans Project podcast, host Glenn shares the remarkable story of George Dantzig, a graduate student who unknowingly solved two mathematical problems that had stumped the world's leading statisticians for years. Why? Because he thought they were just homework assignments. This powerful tale illustrates how our self-imposed mental limits often prevent us from reaching our true potential.

Glenn connects this mindset lesson to his experiences guiding people through the challenging Kokoda Track, where he's witnessed countless individuals overcome their own "impossible" barriers. The episode explores how we create invisible ceilings in our minds and offers practical strategies to break through them.
