Episode notes

If you really do want to become the best of the best in any particular field, then i think what makes sense is to treat it like a sport. And even if you are naturally talented, you need to put that effort in to really become world class at it. The people who are the best are saying no to most things that don't fit within their realms of mastery. You can still explorea an adult as you could as a kid and have more freedom to do it.

With 7 billion people on Earth, it's incredibly hard to be at the absolute top of any field. In this episode, Steph and Calvin discuss what they learned from their brief stints of being "world-class" in chess and golf, respectively. They also dive into the 10,000-hour rule, mastering skills in adulthood, and managing your psychology along the way.
