Episode notes

The Findment Technique is a learning model that leverages teaching and prioritizes simplicity to help you develop a deep understanding of any topic. The surfer knows that 90% of the time they won't be riding any wave, but just paddling and waiting. It's easy to over-complicate and intimidate; don't be fooled. Complexity and jargon are often used to mask a lack of deep understanding. Use the Feynman technique. Find beauty and simplicity.
