Episode notes
Chameleon School Years Shaped Perspective
- Tiago moved schools five years in a row and became a social chameleon who crossed groups.
- That early experience taught him to adapt and blend diverse perspectives into his work.

- Tiago traced Building A Second Brain back to his temperament: a collector, nerd, and someone who loves order.
- His chronic medical condition later crystallized the need to externalize and act on ideas.

- The digital world needs mindful curation because endless acquisition rarely adds real value.
