#60: Internalization with Ryan Oakes

There’s a big difference between believing you understand a concept and really internalizing it. If I know anything about the community surrounding Coburn Ventures, I know that we always want tools to adapt, change and learn new things in our work and life. But more than that, we don't want to create new blind spots by thinking we understand something that we really don't.

Pip and I have developed pilot projects and working groups with clients that helps embed internalization in investment process, but we’ll go deeper on those specific tools another time because today we include a friend later in this conversation whose profession demands internalization of every piece of his act such that to his audience, all motions are effortless: he needs to be particularly beguiling to his audience...its magician and mentalist Ryan Oakes. I hope you enjoy it.
