If all you have are some anecdotes, great, you've got character, but your character development hasn't gotten anywhere beyond the back story. And then you're like aurara, motivational speaker, but you don't really have a whole lot of substance behind you. I'm not knocking on motivational speakers, the good ones are amazing. i'm talking bout the the ones without substance. If that story was all you had, and you couldn't then expand from that into nuance, insight, original ideas, then you would be nothing more than, at best, one of those self proclaimed guroos who your story is your brand.
#334: In today’s episode, we answer three questions from a college senior named Rafael.
He asks about productivity tools and tactics, student debt, Robinhood and market investing, and how to establish yourself as an expert in a given domain.
We answer his questions by widening the lens.
People often ask about productivity tools. “Do you use Asana or Trello?” But nobody asked Michelangelo what paintbrush he used to paint the Sistine Chapel. The discussion around tools misses the point, which is to master the craft.
Sure, we answer his direct, overt questions. But we also dive deeper, refining these topics and exploring the questions *behind* his questions.
This is an episode in which we peel layers off the onion.
