I like this podcast but I was hoping to get GOLD – not silver!
I wanted to hear more about GRIT and how it makes top level people.
Guy: you didn’t manage to mine her gold properly! she rambled for the first 15 minutes. also, it took a lot of time later in your bragging left and right!
Basically, I wanted to hear most of her book content as my eyes feel tired to read books at my age of 81.
Thank you, Guy.
