Learning Through Making: Combining Learning and Work

In this podcast, the speaker discusses the idea of combining learning and work. Traditionally, we view learning and working as separate phases of life. However, in today's fast-changing world, this division no longer makes sense. The speaker proposes that the best way to learn is by actively making something. By getting your hands dirty and dealing with practical challenges, you become aware of the gaps in your understanding. For example, making a simple piece of furniture like a table reveals the multitude of details and knowledge required. Therefore, combining learning and work through making provides a more comprehensive and effective learning experience.
