Episode notes
The insight from the snip is about the importance of seeking out specialized mentors to learn new skills effectively. It is inspired by the story of James Cameron hiring a firearms instructor who trained actors for John Wick, and subsequently becoming a competitive level shooter within two years. This experience led the speaker to the realization that learning from the best in a particular field accelerates mastery in that area. This philosophy led the speaker to seek out a highly experienced Jiu Jitsu instructor from Brazil, with a multi-generational background in the sport, affirming the belief that learning from such experts is the path to rapid skill acquisition in any endeavor.
