Takeaway Quotes from Dustin Levy "A fixed mindset is not a safe place. A growth mindset is where you're proactively controlling your own outcomes and future." "I think it probably is something that if you haven't figured it out and learned that lesson on the first half of your career, highly unlikely that your second half is gonna show major behavioral differences." "We really feel the pain of a loss substantially more than the boost from a win."
