Young and Profiting with Hala Taha
Business:Entrepreneurship
When Steven Kotler was a kid, he was skinny, klutzy, and often the last guy picked for any team or athletic contest. He spent a lot of his childhood losing fights to jocks. At 53 years old, he decided to conquer his past shame and push his own aging body past preconceived limits by learning how to park ski. In this episode, Steven discusses how to navigate peak performance as we age and how to keep our use-it-or-lose-it skills. He will also dispel myths about the aging brain and give insight on how to always stay young and profiting!
