What if resilience isn’t enough?In this episode of Grow the Good, I sit down with Dr. Nick Holton and Dr. Adam Wright, co-founders of the Antifragile Academy, to explore how to move beyond just surviving life’s stressors and instead use them to grow stronger. Nick and Adam share a science-backed, integrative framework that blends psychology, physiology, and purpose to help you thrive under pressure, navigate transitions, and build a more grounded sense of identity.We unpack the difference between resilience and antifragility, how to reframe volatility as a feature, not a flaw, of growth, and why thriving requires both distress tolerance and meaning. Whether you’re an athlete, a high performer, or simply someone who wants to show up better in life, this conversation will expand how you think about potential, identity, and well-being.Top 5 Takeaways:<ol><li>Antifragility vs. resilience: Resilience helps you bounce back; Antifragility helps you grow stronger through challenge. </li><li>Thriving = pleasantness + distress tolerance: True thriving includes discomfort and meaning, not just happiness. </li><li>The 4-Lens Framework: Understand yourself through cognitive (top-down), physiological (bottom-up), environmental (outside-in), and values-based (inside-out) perspectives. </li><li>Identity beyond performance: You are not just what you do. Growth requires detaching self-worth from achievement. </li></ol>Volatility as opportunity: Change, uncertainty, and stress can be leveraged for transformation if you engage intentionally.-------------- The Grow the Good Podcast is produced by <a href='https://www.palmtreepodco.com/'>Palm Tree Pod Co. </a>
