podcast notes

Listened to Winning at the Great Game: My Interview with Adam Robinson (Part 2) [The Knowledge Project Ep. #48].  It kept going from topic to topic, but I have realized few benefits of listening to podcasts. In the morning commute, listening to such fires the brain cells and puts it in a mood to attempt something new, more hopeful, more alert and triggers some ideas for new experiments. They might be talking about something, but brain could do some free association and something they talk about could be taken into a new context of what I am interested in or related to the problems I may be struggling with.

5 takeaways from this one.

1. Key to learn anything. Break it down to small steps or skills and Rehearse each one.
2. "A beginner mind sees many possibilities, an expert sees only a few"
3. Break down complexity to a few key metrics that we can reason with.
4. Learning how to learn is an important skill not taught to many students.
5. “What does people know about you that you don't know about yourself?”
