Join me in chatting with Cody Coleman, a grit paragon who rose above a tough childhood in Winslow, New Jersey. 

In this episode, we chat about:

• How Cody persevered despite a childhood racked with financial and emotional instability

• The transformative power of another's belief in you 

• Why grit means hope, and how Cody switched from "Why bother?" to "Why not try?"

Come listen and learn what it means to be gritty in life and academia!
