Today, we dive deep into the age-old debate of talent acquisition versus talent development, using the contrasting blueprints of top college basketball teams as a springboard. We discuss the complex interplay of genetics, opportunity, motivation, and grit—not just in sports, but in every domain of life—as well as challenge the binary of nature vs. nurture, discuss the pitfalls of applying the "talent" label at too young an age, and offer practical advice for parents, coaches, and anyone looking to harness or develop talent. Whether you’re a late bloomer, a prodigy, or just looking to get a little better every day, this conversation will challenge how you think about talent.<a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/16GvGGCOFhkGIJGzPQNOQw_FKVaLP5nGiq2i5WvoKJFQ/edit?usp=sharing" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Click here</a> for an AI-generated, unedited transcript<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Way-Excellence-Greatness-Satisfaction-Chaotic/dp/0063385945" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Click to pre-order </a>Brad's new book, "The Way of Excellence," which Steve Kerr, nine-time NBA Champion, is calling "an absolutely beautiful book"Subscribe to <a href="https://thegrowtheq.com/newsletters/geq/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Growth Equation newsletter</a><a href="https://thegrowtheq.com/geq-academy-3/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Join The Growth Equation Academy </a>If you are enjoying "excellence, actually," do us a huge favor: text your favorite episode to three people so they can enjoy it, too.
