I always want to be more like an operator. And I think that's a really strong suits my zone of genius storytelling creative thinking seeing the best in people. Yet my brain would fixate at times on the things that I didn't have. Why are we creatures of comparison because comparison is a survival tool. It is something that is deeply coded into our lizard brains and it allowed us to know how we were ranked in the pack for hundreds of thousands of years. But the issue with comparison today is we're not competing for bison anymore. So instead of competing forbison we're competing for likes, DMS or social status. We're competing for career success.
Episode 49: Alex Lieberman (@businessbarista) opens up about his innate need to compare himself to other founders, namely his co-founder at Morning Brew. The lesson here is realizing that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side and that we are often comparing ourselves to the best version of others, but not seeing the lowlights that go unseen.
