The Talent Code - Draftsmen S3E27

Yikes! Can’t start a new career after and expect to be successful unless it’s directly connected to skills you’ve already developed???!!! That’s horrible advice, @Marshall Vandruff ! What are you thinking? Do you really believe that? Please reconsider that opinion, especially for your own sake. It reminds me of the 1970’s and 80’s when I was telling everyone who would listen that IQ is much more fluid than we realize, and nowadays, guess what we know! The understanding of myelination and remyelination in the CNS is still such a young science, I think it’s completely unreasonable to make such a pronouncement – perhaps even toxic. This is one of those situations where a little knowledge can be dangerous. I realize this episode was a book review of an old book, but still it would be much more useful to guide listeners to resources and lifestyle changes that increase and protect myelination at any age – exercise, learning anything and exploring curiosity with resources such as Wondrium, proper diet nurturing the microbiome, omega-3 fatty acids like EPA, vitamin D, etc. – rather than saying if you’re over 50 it’s too late.

What is talent? Are we born with it, or can it be nurtured and encouraged in anyone? This time, Stan and Marshall are back in the Draftsmen studio to talk about Daniel Coyle’s book, The Talent Code. They talk about how to grow your own talent, ways to practice, and how to change your mindset to help yourself flourish.
