Persevere and Become: How to Unlock Life's Outsized Returns
Our culture repeatedly tells us that the goal is to be the best, and to be the best you need talent or perseverance... but this message could be misleading. What if success isn't found in being the best but in becoming the best? What if becoming the best led to talent, perseverance, and hope instead of the other way around?
In this short solo episode, Sylvia flips the script by discussing how becoming the best is truly where our story, growth, and success lie. She joins us to talk about pushing through rejection, doing the work, living the ups and downs, and learning from the messes to become the most talented version of our true selves.
About Host Sylvia Winter
Sylvia’s love of art and design and mobility flourished in her impressionable 20s. She holds a Visual Arts from Brown University, and a Master of Landscape Architecture and a Master of Design Studies from the Harvard’s Graduate School of Design. During these years, she studied one year at Rhode Island School of Design, the Pacific Northwest College of Art and an impressionable two terms in southern France at L’Ecole des Arts in Lacoste. The peripatetic nature of these years fed a deep curiosity of places and people and the spaces that define them. It led to work and design research in mountain cities: Bariloche, Kyoto, Bilbao, Lausanne and Palmer, Alaska, and others, where the landscape plays a role in the character of the place and spirit of the people.
