Did you know there’s an actual science to uncovering your hidden genius? It’s not about filling out a “dream job” worksheet—it’s about understanding how your brain is wired, identifying your natural aptitudes, and using them to thrive. This isn’t just a self-discovery exercise. It’s a game-changer for your career, your relationships, and how you show up in the world. Betsy Wills and Alex Ellison are redefining how we approach career discovery, proving that finding the right path isn’t just about landing a job—it’s about creating a life that aligns with who you actually are. ✅ Betsy Wills – Cofounder of YouScience, a groundbreaking psychometric assessment platform reshaping how we understand our talents. She’s also the Director of Marketing & Branding at Diversified Trust and a frequent lecturer at Vanderbilt University and NYU’s Stern School of Business. ✅ Alex Ellison – Founder of Throughline Guidance, a global college and career counseling practice. She’s a sought-after writer, speaker, and expert in college readiness and career development. ✅ Together, they co-authored Your Hidden Genius: The Science-Backed Strategy to Uncovering and Harnessing Your Innate Talents. Discovering your hidden genius isn’t just about career success—it’s about tapping into what makes you, you .

Today what's discussed is whether Quality or Quantity is what matters in language learning, which Abigail and Matt both interpreted in different ways!

A little chit-chat about some things I’ve learned during the months I was unemployed, isolated, and returning to my language learning roots. I feel very lucky that COVID has had little impact on my health and, for the most part, those around me I care about. This is by no means a podcast to make light of the circumstances that created this 5 month window without work for me, but to just reflect on what I learned during that time. ~~~~Patreon~~~~ https://www.patreon.com/polyglotprogress ~~~~Italki Affiliate Link (get $10!)~~~~ https://www.italki.com/i/BcHEcd?hl=en-us ~~~~ Social Media ~~~~ Twitter! http://bit.ly/pp-tweet Tumblr! http://bit.ly/pp-tumblr Facebook! http://bit.ly/pp-fbook Instagram! http://bit.ly/pp-inst ~~~~ My Personal Links ~~~~ YouTube: http://bit.ly/abuhgayul --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/polyglotprogress/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/polyglotprogress/support…

2020 Half-Year Check-in! // Polyglot Progress Podcast #40 46:27

hace 5 years46:27

46:27

A classic ramble-y, chatty podcast. We all know I love setting and checking in with goals, but I’ve been making sure to be especially reflective this year as I come back to language learning after a hiatus and need to reassess my goals around the unexpected changes that have come with 2020. As a heads up in advance I’m giving myself a 1-2 week break from the internet so while I prefilmed + edited this podcast won’t be uploading on Saturday or next week. I’ll be back after that! Just need a little break to work on other projects and spend some time with family. Hope you’re all doing well!! ~~~~Patreon~~~~ https://www.patreon.com/polyglotprogress ~~~~Italki Affiliate Link (get $10!)~~~~ https://www.italki.com/i/BcHEcd?hl=en-us ~~~~ Social Media ~~~~ Twitter! http://bit.ly/pp-tweet Tumblr! http://bit.ly/pp-tumblr Facebook! http://bit.ly/pp-fbook Instagram! http://bit.ly/pp-inst ~~~~ My Personal Links ~~~~ YouTube: http://bit.ly/abuhgayul --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/polyglotprogress/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/polyglotprogress/support…
