Sobre este episodio

Charities send gifts to their donors.

American culture celebrates those who persevere in the face of adversity. But how do we know when to walk away from something that's no longer working? Economist John List says in every domain of our lives, it's important to know when to pivot to something new. Be sure to check out Taking the Leap, the kick-off to our "Success 2.0" series.
