We often praise the growth mindset—and rightly so. But what if fixed beliefs, when earned and chosen, are just as important for confidence, identity, and resilience?

In this solo episode, Nick explores the hidden strengths of a fixed mindset. Drawing from psychology, personal experience, and years of coaching students, Nick challenges the idea that all fixed beliefs are limiting—and makes the case for strategic identity as a source of power.

🎯 Topics covered:

The original definition of a fixed mindset (and where it’s misunderstood)

Why earned identity can boost performance

How confidence and humility work together

The mental model used to achieve a perfect SAT score

Why the most successful people blend both fixed and growth mindsets
