Summary

In this episode of Changing Minds, I sit down with resilience expert Courtney Clark to explore a powerful idea: sometimes the key to winning is knowing when to give up. We dive into why grit alone isn't enough, how flexible goal setting can outperform perseverance, and why letting go of the wrong path can actually move you closer to success. Courtney shares deeply personal stories, from surviving cancer to redefining what it means to achieve your goals, and introduces practical tools like "goal supersizing" and "stoptimism." If you've ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure whether to keep going or change direction, this episode will give you a new way to think about success, resilience, and growth.
