0:10.0	Each week I speak to a variety of guests from business founders to Olympic athletes, leading coaches,
0:16.3	change makers and innovators to find out their daily habits, their rules to live by and what motivates them

0:44.2	Welcome back to the Power Hour podcast. Today I am joined by Bruce Daisley and we're going to be discussing the science of fortitude. Bruce's new book promises to unlock the secrets of

1:51.0	Yeah, it's really interesting right now that the sort of the world is very evenly splitting
1:56.0	into people who are believing that resilience is the answer and those who've been told that resilience
