Episode notes

I think you can only be world class at, potentially just one or two things. It reminds me of how people say you only have a couple start ups in your life. And often the things that you pursue are not hard on their own, but the sheer amount of fortitude and dedication that requires you to get to the top of your field is what most people don't want to engage with. So i know you played golf growing up and you got to high level. I'd love to learn a little bit more about all the work that had to go into that to get to that level.

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.
