In today’s episode, you’re going to learn why you’re more capable than you think, what’s keeping you stuck, and the science-backed tools to unlock your full potential.

Here to show you how to get more out of your life, your work, and your relationships is Adam Grant – a #1 New York Times bestselling author, renowned organizational psychologist, and one of Mel’s favorite thinkers, authors, and people of all time!

He also shares fascinating new research on why some relationships feel effortless, how to strengthen your friendships, and the simple habits that help you connect with people on a deeper level.
