Potential—it’s a word we hear all the time, but how do we truly measure it? More importantly, how do we know if we’re actually living up to it? In this episode of Creating Space 4 Success, host Shane Burkett explores the science of human potential, breaking down what it really means to tap into our talents, grow in our careers, and maximize our impact.

We often hear that we need to “unlock our potential,” but let’s be real—most people struggle to define what potential actually looks like. Leaders and professionals throw the term around, yet few can pinpoint exactly what separates those who thrive from those who stagnate. The reality? Decades of research show clear patterns in human performance, and understanding these principles can be the key to transforming your personal and professional journey.
