Understand Your Identity And Control How You Show Up: Lessons From A Rocket Scientist

In this episode, I have a fascinating conversation with Ozan Varol, an accomplished author, and professor who was once a rocket scientist. Ozan's previous book "Think Like a Rocket Scientist" was highly acclaimed, and his latest book "Awaken Your Genius: Escape Conformity, Ignite Creativity, and Become Extraordinary," explores the importance of carving out your own path and understanding your identity.

We discuss the reasons behind Ozan's latest book, and the hindrance of creativity in students by educators. Ozan shares his thoughts on separating identity from beliefs and the importance of understanding oneself to create their own path. We also discuss the different approaches to pursuing one's passion, and the significance of curiosity.
