Today, we have Polina Marinova Pompliano on the show to discuss her latest book: Hidden Genius: The Secret Ways of Thinking That Power the World’s Most Successful People
Polina is the founder of The Profile, a media organization that studies successful people and companies. Previously, she spent five years at FORTUNE where she covered technology and venture capital.

Instead, what we talk about and the books share are attributes, behaviors and skillsets possessed by these high performing individuals that we can take for ourselves and make our own.
Whether it’s the Mamba Mentality of Kobe mixed with the Pain tolerance of Amelia Boone and David Goggins. We can take the best skills, attributes and mindsets from some of the greatest athletes, creators and thinkers and make them our own.
This was one of the most fun conversations I’ve had and I hope you enjoy.
