Redefining Success. Rewiring Potential.
What really drives success? Spoiler alert: It’s not your IQ score.
 
In Mission Matters, Dr. Melissa Hughes joins a dynamic group of leaders, entrepreneurs, and change-makers to explore what it takes to thrive—personally and professionally—in today’s unpredictable world. Drawing on decades of neuroscience and behavioral psychology, Melissa’s chapter challenges the outdated belief that intelligence is fixed and success is predetermined. With warmth, wit, and scientific insight, she reveals what truly separates the best of us from the rest of us: resilience, grit, curiosity, and the mindset to grow.
 
From the longest-running study on genius to personal reflections from the classroom and beyond, Mission Matters is a powerful reminder that your brain is your greatest asset—and your story is still being written.
