Dr. Wayne Pernell explains the growth edge: the hardest part of the climb, just before the best view. Like a steep trail section before a breathtaking vista, it's where curiosity and determination push you past comfort into reward.

And the growth edge is the concept I came up with that just explains that, you know, I love climbing mountains. I love hiking. And I feel like, as someone who loves metaphors, the idea of hiking is very much like life, you know, especially a really challenging hike. The more challenging the hike, the more reward you get from that hike. You'll get to an edge, you know, growth edge on that hike that's just kind of like. I don't know if I can make it up this particular section. This is tough, but I'm so curious about what's up there. I know that the view from up there is going to be amazing, and I want to know what's past it, and I want to prove to myself that I can get there. And quite often with hiking, the bit just before you get there to that particular reward is the toughest bit. It's the growth edge. It's the bit that you can't. You're not going to know what's going to happen until you take action and get over that edge.
