| 0:00.0 | Hi, we've got three stories from Curiosity.com to help you get smarter in just a few minutes. |
| 0:04.8 | I'm Cody Gough. And I'm Ashley Hamer. |
| 0:06.7 | Today you learn why you should care about the supermoon on July 13th, |
| 0:10.3 | how there could be a universe inside every black hole and what Stanford |
| 0:13.7 | researchers say you should do instead of trying to find your passion. Let's satisfy |
| 0:17.5 | some curiosity. Kody would you say you found your passion? Yes, no, ma'am. I |

| 1:01.2 | Those terms might sound familiar because psychologist Carol Dweck came up with a growth mindset |
