Is being “book smart” enough? In this episode, Darren and Simon explore the true nature of intelligence—challenging the idea that IQ alone predicts success.
They dive into the science of emotional intelligence (EQ) and explain why it plays a far greater role in personal well-being, professional performance, and relationships. From the famous marshmallow test to everyday life skills like self-awareness, empathy, and delayed gratification, this conversation blends psychology with practical life lessons.
You’ll learn: ✔️ Why IQ tests are limited predictors of real-world success ✔️ How EQ can be developed at any age ✔️ The importance of curiosity, connection, and emotional regulation ✔️ Why teaching emotional intelligence to young people is essential
Perfect for parents, educators, professionals—or anyone curious about what really drives success.
