I had the privilege of joining Dr. Emilia Elisabet Lahti, an esteemed educator and author/researcher known for her work on the Finnish concept of "sisu," on her podcast, Sisu Lab. Our conversation, spanning over 78 minutes, delves into topics I've seldom explored publicly, making this conversation uniquely personal.

I’ve been on around 100 podcasts, but this one is special. I hope you find our discussion as revitalizing as we did….
