197: The Provider Trap That Kills A Mans Marriage feat: Marty Hoffman

Grit, Resilience, and Elon Musk's Failure Philosophy

Marty Hoffman cites Angela Duckworth's book "Grit" as a foundational concept for success in business and marriage. He explains that resilience is built by getting up after failures and asking better questions. He uses Elon Musk's approach to SpaceX—viewing rocket explosions as necessary steps toward reaching Mars—as an example of building a successful enterprise through iterative failure.
