In this episode, we discuss the power of daily writing with James Quiambo, a product manager at a construction tech company, and the founder of the Olive Tree Writing Club based in NYC.

We'll explore how a consistent writing habit sharpens his focus and self-awareness and, in addition, fuels his career success and unlocks new passions. Putting pen to paper helps him refine his thoughts on building communities, fosters deeper connections with family, and ultimately, lets him share his authentic self with the world.

This episode marks the exciting launch of our new one-on-one interview format on The Growth Gradient. This expansion allows us to create a more intimate space for our guests to share their personal growth journeys.

In this episode, we explore the messy and sometimes hilarious world of epic fails. You know the feeling: that sinking sensation after a bombed exam, a flubbed job interview, or a heartbreaking relationship split. We've all been there.

Joining us in this episode are Dhrumil Patel, a University of Waterloo student, and Ankil Patel, a California-based software engineer. Despite coming from the same family, these brothers have overcome their own unique set of failures and are learning to navigate life's stumbles with a positive, growth-oriented mindset. We dive into personal failures and discuss actionable tips for reframing failure as a learning experience to bounce back stronger.

Introducing group podcast episodes! We're evolving our format by welcoming more voices to the table by having multiple guests in an episode!

This episode is just the beginning of the new formats we will implement for The Growth Gradient! We're excited to bring you more insightful and engaging conversations with a wider range of guests in the future. Stay tuned!
