EP002: Activating Teenage Super Powers

Todd VanDuzer
About this episode

Hello everyone, and welcome to the Student-Tutor Podcast!

 

Are teenagers really just young and inexperienced, or do they ALL have hidden, but unlockable SUPER POWERS?

 

This week we are joined by Jules Schroeder, a Student Tutor Mastermind program mentor. 

 

In this episode, Jules explains how to activate the super powers hidden deep within us all. She explains further how EVERY teenager has enormous potential within them, and how they can bring it to light.

3 Key Points:

 

1. Be honest about your skill level, and ask to learn.

Even if you don't have well developed skills or experience, people will be willing to teach; if you're willing to listen.

2. If it feels like a "hell yes" then it's a yes, and if it doesn't it's a no. 

Avoid getting stuck in decisions for maybe and obligated decisions.

3. Don't wait, get started NOW!

Put yourself into opportunities to find peers like yourself with similar interests.
