Description

Talent gets attention. Skill gets paid.

Talent is what people admire from a distance—it’s the spark, the potential, the “wow” factor. But skill? Skill is talent that’s been refined, repeated, and repurposed for the public good. It’s what people pay to see, hear, or experience—because it delivers value, consistently.

But do you really need 10,000 hours to be great, as Malcolm Gladwell suggests, to earn that kind of recognition?

Join me in this episode as we explore how greatness might be closer than we think—and how intentional practice can accelerate the journey.
