An unfiltered debate about "natural ability"

Send us a text! (US messaging rates apply)

Sometimes an interview fires us up so much here at Math Therapy HQ, that we end up debriefing and debating it long after the guest has signed off - at which point producer David says to host Vanessa "we should have recorded THAT too!"

So today, we actually did!  We kept the mics rolling after interviewing last week's guest, Dr. Raj Shah, resulting in a discussion on the mechanics of memory & aptitude and a spirited debate as David pushed back against Vanessa's war on the words "natural ability".  

We would LOVE to have an expert in this field on the podcast, so if you have any suggestions let us know!

And we want to know what you think as well - are some people born better at some things than others?!  Let us know below!
