The Obvious Podcast, with Peter Dyga and Sonny Maken
In the first episode of 2026, Peter and Sonny discuss how, based on a study of college students in Southern California that found they are unable to perform basic math, we have decided that grit will become ABC-FEC’s word of the year. To keep our relentless progress moving forward, we are instilling grit in our staff to persevere and grit in everything we do.
The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines grit as: “firmness of mind or spirit, unyielding courage in the face of hardship or danger.
