Three Questions to unpack Without-The-Box Thinking
Why is the box there to begin with? (E.g. School, Industrial Revolution and indoctrination)
Who put it there, and why? (E.g. religions, industrialists)
Should it still be there?
Another example is the office.

Without-The-Box Thinking: https://withjoewehbe.com/2020/06/07/thinking-without-the-box/

People are still influenced by the assumptions
Without-The-Box takes away the assumptions for a moment.

The best system is not having a system.

Luke's Learning Journey — follow, follow, forever follow interest.
First began in IT, influenced by father
Didn't see how his learning would benefit him in the long-term, made it difficult
Didn't have positive view of himself despite doing well at school
Job in sales
Belief as outgoing person CHANGED
Then led to opportunity in a more corporate role in a Telco, as a salesperson
Came full loop, became curious about how internet worked, now interested in something he studied at university.
Eventually improved belief in his ability to learn, overcome residual limits from university where he wasn't good at technical things
Never would have believed this would have been his path.
'Follow Interest'
Interest Mapping
My Deconstruction of Luke's journey
I could probably charge for web design now
If you work hard at anything you eventually come down to the core.

Things lead to things.
