Ep 13: Conscious Incompetence
Listen now
Description
Learning should be fun! Or should it? The Michaels dig into the concept of “conscious incompetence” — that part of the learning process when you realize that you kind of suck at something, and that it might be a long time before you become proficient. We hear why growth requires an open attitude towards our own incompetence, and why accomplished people may shy away from trying new things. Plus some fun asides about gardening and kiteboarding.
