Came out of it with so many takeaways! On decision making, passion, and feedback.
Here are some of my main points
1/ "Feedback is a gift, but not all of us can unwrap it"
Successful people know that expertise comes about through:
hyperintentionality + concentration + feedback + repetition of that whole cycle

2/ Don& #39;t "follow" your passion, develop it.
The word & #39;following& #39; doesn& #39;t translate well. It is about developing passion – which is generative rather than reactive.
Deepening interests and passions give it a completely different dimension as you pursue it.

3/ Do what is play for you and work for others.
Lean into what comes naturally to you, even if it isn& #39;t a typical path.

4/ Nurture vs Nature:
There is the role of chance but there is also the role of choosing.
Your environment may not be the best, but how you respond is a choice – from Arthur Ashe who is of only two men of black African ancestry to win a Grand Slam singles title.

My favorite parts:
Feedback is a gift, but not all of us can unwrap it
She references Shakespeare:
"All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players"
If that is the case, then we need to think more clearly and intentionally about what role we are playing.
