Episode 4: Advice from Steph Curry and Sonia Ricotti

This week, we talk about a nugget learned from Steph Curry and Sonia Ricotti. The grown-up version is: Be a victor, not a victim.

We also do a follow up on last week's nugget, "Being curious is better than being smart." Podcast references: Steph Curry article: https://www.theplayerstribune.com/en-us/articles...
