  Hi, I'm Danny Tan and if you are here, you are in the right
• 0:11
  place. Welcome to the Pivot and
• 0:12
  Promotion podcast where we say forget the rules because they
• 0:16
  weren't written for us. I'm Danny Tan, I'm your host as
• 0:19
  well as career and leadership coach and a proud advocate for
• 0:21
  redefining what success and leadership looks like.
• 0:24
  And here's what I know. You can lead at any level, you
• 0:27
  can pivot at any age, and you can make moves that feel right
• 0:30
  for you. Whether you're climbing the
• 0:32
  perfect ladder, starting something completely new, or
• 0:34
  just figuring out your next step.
• 0:35
  I've got you covered with strategies, stories, and
• 0:38
  straight up inspiration. So let's make some moves.
• 0:46
  Hello, so today we are going to be talking about how trying new
• 0:51
  things teaches you about your belief, your confidence and your
• 0:55
  growth overall and just the importance of trying new things
• 0:58
  in general and just how it affects our brains, our
• 1:00
  experiences and our ability to know what is possible.
• 1:03
  And fun little fact, this is the 100th episode of the Pivotal
• 1:07
  promotion podcast. So we have hit 100 episodes,
• 1:10
  which is a super exciting. And so the thought that came to
• 1:13
  mind when I was thinking about this topic in general was what
• 1:17
  is something that I would want to have 100 around?
• 1:20
  And a big thing that came out to me was like, well, I would love
• 1:22
  to have experience trying 100 new things.
• 1:26
  And then I started going through my list of the things that I've
• 1:29
  done for the first time, let alone this year, let alone in
• 1:31
  the last two years of all these new experiences that I've done
• 1:35
  for the first time. And then I was thinking about my
• 1:36
  clients and the big changes that they've made for the first time,
• 1:40
  things they've tried for the first time, and how it really
• 1:42
  does affect our belief in ourselves, our confidence, the
• 1:48
  ability to learn, to grow, and it shapes us in so many
• 1:52
  different ways. And so in true form, I wanted to
• 1:54
  understand like how it affects our brains and neuroscience
• 1:56
  behind it. And so I did a little bit of
• 1:59
  digging in there to see what came up because I do truly
• 2:02
  believe that when you put yourself in new environments,
• 2:05
  new experiences around new people, that it does essentially
• 2:09
  evolve us and expand us. And so I wanted to kind of like
• 2:13
  dig into that overall and see. So let's break it down on how
• 2:18
  try new things and what it does and how it teaches you about
• 2:22
  your belief, your confidence and your growth.
• 2:24
  And so why new experiences even matter?
• 2:27
  Well, one, you don't, you don't really outgrow ever the need to
• 2:31
  try new things. There's always going to be
• 2:32
  something new to learn or do your experience.
• 2:34
  And especially if you're somebody who's like pretty
• 2:37
  driven, a high achiever or just super curious, you're going to
• 2:41
  want to try some new things in general.
• 2:42
  And so the neuroscience or like the angle behind that is when
• 2:46
  you're trying something new, it fires up the dopamine in your
• 2:49
  brain. So your brains like reward a
• 2:51
  chemical and it boosts the neuroplasticity.
• 2:54
  So like, what does that mean? That means your brain's ability
• 2:56
  to create new connections. It keeps your brain flexible and
• 2:59
  not fearful, right? So think about it.
• 3:02
  If you're constantly trying new experiences, new things, one,
• 3:07
  you're firing up your brains dopamine kind of like, Oh, I
• 3:09
  like this like new thing that I'm doing.
• 3:11
  But also you're giving your brain more flexibility that
• 3:14
  you're not rigid and only doing things one way.
• 3:17
  So you're you're less fearful to try new things.
• 3:19
  You're less fearful to experience new things because
• 3:21
  you've become accustomed to doing that.
• 3:24
  And so it's pretty cool, I think.
• 3:26
  So I'm thinking about these things that I've done for the
• 3:29
  first time just in general. And so I would say, you know, I
• 3:33
  tried some things in in general of like doing a three day horse
• 3:36
  truck would never in a million years.
• 3:39
  I think I've been in a horse probably like 3-4 times in my
• 3:41
  entire lifetime. And even then it was when I was
• 3:43
  really little. And you're like on those family
• 3:45
  trips where like the horse takes you on the beach or something.
• 3:47
  But a three day horse truck where I was like riding horse
• 3:49
  for 12 hours in the course of three days and like staying in
• 3:52
  staying in your tent equivalent. And, you know, going through
• 3:58
  these like rolling landscapes and never in a million years
• 4:00
  that I think I'd be doing that. And it was scary.
• 4:02
  It was like, Oh my gosh, I'm not a professional horseback riding.
• 4:05
  What am I going to do? But doing that really for me, at
• 4:07
  least I was like, OK, for my brain.
• 4:09
  Oh, you know, it seems like it's like these things seem so far
• 4:13
  away and foreign and unpossible. But once you just throw yourself
• 4:16
  into it and do an experience that you're like, wait a minute,
• 4:18
  it's not, it's not as scary as it may seem.
• 4:21
  And also like, wow, that like I'm able to do this and capable
• 4:24
  to do this. And it starts to kind of show
• 4:26
  you like, I can push and challenge myself even more of
• 4:30
  what it looks like for what I can do in my capacity, which is
• 4:33
  pretty cool. Other thing that I never thought
• 4:35
  that I catch myself doing, but I did for the first time this year
• 4:38
  was like windsurfing. Well, really it's called kite
• 4:40
  surfing. And so again, was like, am I
• 4:42
  going to be doing water sports in general?
• 4:45
  Like, I don't know. And, and I just tried it and I
• 4:47
  was like, Oh my gosh, it's terrifying to be getting pulled
• 4:50
  by the air that far up above water, but also is pretty cool
• 4:54
  because I was like, wait, I can still learn new things.
• 4:56
  And so I think the best thing for me when it came to this
• 4:59
  episode, I'm thinking of 100 things.
• 5:00
  Like I want to make a list of 100 things that I have done for
• 5:04
  the first time and that I want to do for the first time.
• 5:06
  So I continue to just like I explore, expand and challenge my
• 5:10
  brain and fun ways, something to be something that is always like
• 5:12
  challenging push result that could be challenging, just like
• 5:15
  curiosity and exciting. And so just thinking of those
• 5:18
  things you could do for a first time.
• 5:20
  And I think the, the thing that's important is that, you
• 5:22
  know, it's not about, Oh, I have to master each thing.
• 5:26
  Like all these things that I did, I was not like, I'm going
• 5:28
  to become like a super experienced professional
• 5:31
  horseback rider or I'm going to become like a pro at, you know,
• 5:36
  kite surfing. It's none of those things.
• 5:37
  It was just that I wanted to be able to try to do something and
• 5:41
  just know how I felt after it. Like, wow, I did that.
• 5:44
  And I didn't have to wait to be perfect or have all the all the
• 5:48
  knowledge before or study it before.
• 5:50
  Like I can just do things and experience them.
• 5:52
  And then just being amazed with the fact that I even write it.
• 5:54
  And I think that's something that's really important just to
• 5:57
  kind of remember of. Like when we do something new,
• 6:00
  it rewards our brain, but also it boosts the plasticity within
• 6:03
  our brains to create these new connections that, wow, I have
• 6:06
  the flexibility to do something new.
• 6:08
  And it makes us less scared to try new things, right?
• 6:11
  So how can you experience those little things where these new
• 6:13
  experiences really truly matter and they do stock up.
• 6:16
  And so when you try something new, you're overriding that part
• 6:20
  of your brain that's trying to keep you safe and small, right?
• 6:23
  Of course, we love our brain. It wants to keep us safe.
• 6:25
  It wants to keep us secure. It wants to know what's
• 6:27
  familiar, right? But when you intentionally
• 6:31
  decide to try something new, know that you're proving to
• 6:34
  yourself that you can handle some discomfort, and then you're
• 6:37
  expanding your capacity to try new things in general.
• 6:40
  And so I think that's the part that's really important.
• 6:43
  And you know, this is just something that is really, it
• 6:47
  really carries through, whether it is trying a new activity, a
• 6:49
  new experience, a new skill, or if you're trying to grow your
• 6:53
  business, if you're trying to build a business, if you're
• 6:56
  trying to create more visibility for yourself, if you're trying
• 6:59
  to become a speaker, if you are somebody who wants to do a Ted
• 7:02
  Talk, if you're somebody who wants to just change careers,
• 7:04
  right, or become a leader, be seen as a leader, anything to
• 7:09
  take these big leaps, to take these big, big steps.
• 7:12
  There will be fear because we are leaving.
• 7:14
  We're like kind of saying like moving into a new identity,
• 7:17
  moving into a new version of ourselves.
• 7:19
  And when we do that, it can be scary because you're like,
• 7:22
  you're leaving the safety of the home that you built to go into
• 7:24
  this new home. And so whenever we are
• 7:27
  experiencing new things and trying new things, it's actually
• 7:30
  preparing us for these new things that we want to jump
• 7:33
  into. So I would say like, what are
• 7:35
  ways you can kind of start to practice, you know, trying new
• 7:40
  things and not for perfection, not to master them, but just to
• 7:44
  kind of experience being a beginner at something, to try
• 7:47
  something new at something. And how that will actually, you
• 7:49
  know, translate and transcend into all these bigger things
• 7:53
  you're trying to do for yourself.
• 7:54
  You're essentially setting up your mind in preparation for
• 7:56
  like, hey, when things are scary, I can actually try
• 8:00
  something new. Maybe there may be fear, but the
• 8:02
  fear will start to quiet down because I know that I've got my
• 8:05
  back and I know what I'm capable of because I've done new things
• 8:07
  before. And so the next thing is that
• 8:10
  you don't need to be like this huge big thing.
• 8:12
  It's going to be a big win. You just need to begin.
• 8:15
  So your brain doesn't need like some huge payoff that like
• 8:18
  you've mastered, like you've mastered scuba diving, you know,
• 8:22
  like it doesn't have to be that big.
• 8:24
  It could just be that you're trying something small.
• 8:26
  So it just needs evidence that you did the thing.
• 8:28
  So knowing that your brain doesn't have to have like the
• 8:32
  ultimate level. It just needs some kind of
• 8:34
  evidence that you did the thing. So small first.
• 8:37
  They matter. They matter so, so much.
• 8:39
  And so thinking about ways that could be, it could be, you know,
• 8:42
  going out to dinner on your own versus always going to dinner
• 8:45
  with a group of people or with somebody else and like teaching
• 8:47
  yourself like, oh, may be scared to do it, but I can do this on
• 8:51
  my own. You know, it could be finally
• 8:54
  recording that podcast episode that you've been wanting to
• 8:56
  record. I've got clients who are like, I
• 8:57
  want to start the podcast for my business and they're just
• 9:00
  nervous about it has to be perfect.
• 9:02
  The right title, the right outline, you know, the right
• 9:05
  cover art, all this stuff. But it's like, maybe it's a
• 9:08
  challenge of like, I'm just going to record the first one
• 9:11
  really messily and just see how it goes.
• 9:13
  It's giving your brain evidence that it's possible and that you
• 9:16
  can do it. And so thinking of ways that you
• 9:19
  could do that, maybe it's Oh my gosh, this could be scandalous
• 9:21
  for like my, my type A like planners, but like having a
• 9:25
  weekend trip where you don't plan anything in advance.
• 9:28
  You just show up and kind of just like stumble into things
• 9:31
  and see how things happen. You know, just proving yourself
• 9:33
  that like, Hey, it actually can be OK when everything is not
• 9:37
  overly planned. And so, you know, this is
• 9:42
  something that it really makes this big move for your identity.
• 9:45
  So every time you have followed through on these things that may
• 9:50
  seem a little bit scary or a little bit of like a, a push in
• 9:52
  capacity, you're reminding yourself, I'm someone who takes
• 9:56
  action. I don't freeze anymore.
• 9:58
  And so every time you're like, let me try this thing, let me
• 10:01
  experience this thing, and then you actually do it.
• 10:04
  You're telling yourself, I, I, I'm telling myself that I'm
• 10:09
  someone who takes action. I don't wait, I don't freeze.
• 10:12
  I'm just going to go and experience it and try it.
• 10:15
  It's OK if I don't have all the Little Miss little details.
• 10:17
  It's OK if I don't have the exact perfect plan and I will be
• 10:21
  able to move it forward. And so, you know, I have amazing
• 10:26
  clients, but I do have, there's like these fears that come up,
• 10:29
  right? And like, you can be awesome,
• 10:30
  ambitious, driven, motivated, maybe you're kind of just like
• 10:32
  scared to do something new. And so I had one client who was
• 10:36
  like, Oh my gosh, I really, really admire this person.
• 10:38
  And I feel like if I reach out to them, it's going to be like,
• 10:41
  weird, like I'm like fangirling and all this stuff.
• 10:44
  And I said, you know, like, what's the worst thing that
• 10:45
  could happen? And they said, oh, they don't
• 10:47
  reply. I don't know.
• 10:49
  And so they went, they send a little message and they were
• 10:53
  like, they didn't reply. I didn't hear back.
• 10:55
  And then a few weeks later, they heard back.
• 10:57
  The person was like, yeah, let's set up time just to chat.
• 11:00
  They were chatting. And let me add this part.
• 11:02
  She really admired, you know, this person because of the
• 11:05
  business that they built and the company that they had.
• 11:06
  And so she was just kind of curious of like, oh, like one
• 11:08
  day it'd be so cool to do a collaboration with them.
• 11:10
  And so that little message evolved to a conversation, which
• 11:14
  evolved to the calibration. So that's like pretty cool.
• 11:17
  I just think that for us to kind of like put ourselves out there
• 11:20
  in small ways, it starts to make a little bit more normal for us.
• 11:23
  And so this is someone who was like absolutely never going to
• 11:25
  message a person in a million years to someone who did that.
• 11:28
  And now they're totally unfazed when it comes to I'm just going
• 11:31
  to send the message. And it was usually like a really
• 11:34
  big build up. Like we're having a whole
• 11:35
  conversation about it. So like being able to show up
• 11:38
  for yourself of like, yeah, I can try this thing in a small
• 11:41
  way. And then, you know, without
• 11:43
  expectation, sometimes these things snowball, they become
• 11:45
  even bigger opportunities. And that's something that's
• 11:48
  that's that's pretty major. And so I say this would be the
• 11:52
  thing that I would love for you to try.
• 11:53
  Try one thing, just try one thing.
• 11:56
  Because when you're trying these small things and you survive
• 11:59
  them or you overcome them, you're actually expanding your
• 12:01
  comfort zone and you start to build this self trust at a whole
• 12:05
  new level. So what is something potentially
• 12:08
  that you want to maybe like expand your capacity in?
• 12:11
  Is it something about learning a new skill?
• 12:13
  Is it something about putting yourself out there?
• 12:15
  What could it be that you would want to kind of like expand your
• 12:18
  capacity on? And what's a small baby step
• 12:21
  that you can take in order to start to move into that, that
• 12:24
  you can commit to yourself and make a promise to actually do?
• 12:27
  And I'm kind of curious for all of you here, because this is
• 12:31
  what makes change. This is what helps us evolve and
• 12:34
  actually grow. And that's what's the big
• 12:36
  differentiator between somebody who actually takes action and
• 12:39
  who doesn't and someone who actually will move forward
• 12:42
  versus someone who doesn't. And so being able to identify
• 12:46
  what is it ultimately that I want to grow in and what is a
• 12:49
  small step that I can take in order to make that happen.
• 12:51
  And so we know you don't get stuck in the freeze or the what
• 12:54
  ifs or the what if should have could have, right?
• 12:57
  So let's talk about the compound effects of first.
• 13:00
  So fun. So you know, when you're trying
• 13:02
  something new, you don't just get the experience, you also get
• 13:06
  a new story about yourself. I'm talking about this identity,
• 13:09
  this new story about yourself, identity about yourself.
• 13:11
  And so there are so many different things that can
• 13:14
  happen. It's like, so it could be
• 13:16
  something from someone who's applying for a new role before
• 13:19
  they feel ready and pitching themselves.
• 13:21
  Maybe it's for a raise or leading for it leads to a new
• 13:24
  project for the first time. So for example, I have clients
• 13:26
  who like I'm ready to apply for this job, but I don't
• 13:29
  necessarily know if I'm ready. I don't know if I have all the
• 13:32
  roles and responsibilities. I don't know if I have all like
• 13:34
  the skills and experience. And so, and we'll talk about
• 13:38
  like, hey, like put yourself out there, apply.
• 13:40
  You never know what could happen.
• 13:41
  And I've had clients who've applied and they've gotten the
• 13:43
  job and they've gotten like higher levels up, they've gotten
• 13:46
  higher salaries. But it's just this thing of like
• 13:49
  being able to take this, this like chance on yourself and be
• 13:53
  able to see what could happen. So just being able to see like,
• 13:56
  what can I try to allow this to happen?
• 13:59
  And so once they've done that, they've built this belief of
• 14:01
  like, wait a minute, like even if I don't have every single box
• 14:04
  checked, I know that if there is a gap, if I put myself out
• 14:08
  there, I can figure out a way to fill a plan to fill those gaps.
• 14:10
  And once you create that belief for yourself, it is so it's so
• 14:14
  strong and you, you continue to have that tenfold and it's like
• 14:18
  a, a ripple effect. And so you start to build
• 14:21
  momentum. It's not just one action, it's a
• 14:23
  ripple effect that you start believing already in yourself
• 14:26
  over and over again. And that's the part that's like
• 14:29
  that belief in yourself, that confidence in yourself is
• 14:31
  something that is unshakable once you have it, because then
• 14:34
  you know what it somebody thinks to be possible for you.
• 14:37
  That's the same thing when it comes to maybe you want to learn
• 14:40
  a new language, or maybe you want to start taking up like
• 14:44
  running. And so it could be something as
• 14:47
  simple as like being able to, you know, make a new friend
• 14:50
  while you're traveling. Like, it can be something so
• 14:52
  small, but when you start to put yourself out there in these
• 14:57
  steps, you start to build this like openness, this belief in
• 15:00
  this resilience for yourself. And So what happens when you
• 15:04
  keep trying new things? Over time, you become more
• 15:07
  decisive, you become more curious, and you become less
• 15:10
  attached to doing things perfectly.
• 15:13
  And so that's a thing that's really important.
• 15:15
  These compound effects of doing these first allow you to start
• 15:19
  to see for yourself. OK, wait a minute.
• 15:21
  Like if I want to do something, I just do it.
• 15:23
  I don't sit here and ruminate and wonder and pro con list it
• 15:27
  repeatedly because it already popped in my mind.
• 15:30
  So if it popped in my mind, it's probably something that I'm
• 15:32
  curious about that I want to do. So let me just go do it.
• 15:34
  So you become more decisive because now instead of like
• 15:37
  having this internal tennis match back and forth with
• 15:40
  yourself, you're just taking action and doing it.
• 15:43
  It also allows you to become more curious because versus
• 15:46
  being scared or nervous or fearful of experiencing and
• 15:49
  trying new things, you're going to be more curious and like and
• 15:53
  explore it because you're like, oh, if I have a question, I'll
• 15:56
  just go and look into it versus being like, is it OK?
• 15:59
  Is it the perfect time doing your research more?
• 16:02
  You know, you end up becoming curious in a way that actually
• 16:06
  goes with action and you come more decisive and you become
• 16:09
  less attached to doing things perfectly.
• 16:11
  If you are somebody who wants to try new things, new experiences
• 16:14
  and lots of first, it's not going to happen with perfection
• 16:19
  because you will be sitting there thinking, wondering,
• 16:23
  plotting, planning, and you will have never taken action.
• 16:25
  You're not going to have a lot of firsts.
• 16:26
  You'll be paralyzed by the perfection, talking as somebody
• 16:30
  and speaking as somebody as a recovering perfectionist.
• 16:32
  And so, you know, it's just being able to do these things
• 16:35
  and just experience them. And to, you know, the
• 16:38
  experience, it's not about doing it perfectly.
• 16:40
  It's about putting yourself out there and trying it.
• 16:42
  And that's, that's the part that helps evolve our brains.
• 16:45
  And so just knowing that these compound effects of these first
• 16:50
  just help you grow your confidence, your belief, your
• 16:52
  ability to expand, your capacity, your ability to build
• 16:56
  yourself trust. And so trying these new things
• 16:58
  help you redefine what success looks like for you from outcomes
• 17:03
  to identity. So you're essentially evolving
• 17:05
  your identity. You're evolving your sense of
• 17:07
  self, you're evolving how you see yourself because now you're
• 17:10
  like, darn, I mean, I could do thing.
• 17:12
  I can do so many different things, like I've done so many
• 17:14
  different first. And you know, I was talking
• 17:17
  about this the other the other day I was in, I was in Central
• 17:23
  Asia for a month, month and a half.
• 17:26
  And I was laughing because I was like, well, one weekend I went
• 17:30
  camping overnight camping for the first time, like
• 17:32
  backpacking, carrying my backpack.
• 17:34
  And then the next weekend I was doing a three day horse track.
• 17:37
  And, you know, like so many different compounding first that
• 17:41
  I was kind of like, yeah, I mean, when I do something for
• 17:43
  the first time, I guess I just go all in versus this is, you
• 17:46
  know, the light version. But there could be so many fears
• 17:48
  of like, I don't know, it could be cold, it could be scary.
• 17:51
  What if, what if, what if? But just by doing them, I've
• 17:53
  just kind of like unfazed at my ability to try and experience
• 17:58
  two things, which has just strengthened my trust and like,
• 18:00
  yeah, I probably can do it or yeah, it's not going to be a big
• 18:03
  deal. And so things just have this
• 18:06
  less weight to them because I'm able to see that by through
• 18:11
  these new environments, through these new experiences.
• 18:13
  I have this belief in myself. And again, I want to remind you,
• 18:15
  doesn't have to be that big. Like for me, it was a big deal
• 18:20
  quite a few years ago to go to dinner by myself.
• 18:22
  Like living in New York, always having my calendar booked like
• 18:27
  back-to-back to back-to-back book schedule.
• 18:31
  Like calendar was completely like color-coded.
• 18:34
  I always had plans with like friends, anybody doing
• 18:36
  something, hardly ever having any time alone.
• 18:40
  And I was like scared to go did it by myself.
• 18:42
  I was like, I don't know, that seems really scary.
• 18:44
  Like what are people going to think?
• 18:46
  Who am I going to talk to, what I'm going to do?
• 18:48
  And my friend was like, oh, are you like scared to be by
• 18:52
  yourself? And I was like, never had that
• 18:54
  thought. Never had that reflection.
• 18:55
  Oh my gosh, me alone with my thoughts.
• 18:57
  Never. And so it used to be a really
• 18:59
  big deal just to go to dinner by myself.
• 19:01
  And when I did it the first few times I was like nervous.
• 19:04
  I was self-conscious. I had a book, I had this, I had
• 19:06
  that. And the biggest thing that I
• 19:09
  found was that like, wait a minute, you know, with time I
• 19:13
  became more accustomed to it. I became more comfortable with
• 19:15
  it. And by doing that, I started to
• 19:17
  build more confidence in myself. I was like, yeah, I'm here by
• 19:20
  myself, it's OK. And then I became, and I started
• 19:22
  to like it more and I actually enjoyed it and I started
• 19:24
  scheduling it every single week to do it.
• 19:27
  And I started to make friends with like the person at the bar.
• 19:31
  And then it led me to want to explore doing my first solo trip
• 19:34
  and travel by myself, which I never thought about doing ever
• 19:37
  in a million years because there's so many different fears
• 19:39
  and thoughts and beliefs that are out there.
• 19:41
  And then when I did that, I was like, Oh my gosh, I can like
• 19:44
  plan a trip on my own. I can fly on my own.
• 19:46
  I can go do this on my own. Like you, just your level of
• 19:49
  confidence and belief and your decision making sales, like just
• 19:52
  strengthen so much more because you have been able to exercise
• 19:56
  that and expand yourself in some different ways.
• 19:58
  So it can be something as simple as taking yourself to dinner on
• 20:02
  your own, going to that workout class that maybe scares you.
• 20:04
  Oh my gosh, I had so many times I was terrified just to go to a
• 20:07
  workout class on my own of just the fear of like.
• 20:11
  The instructor, the people in the class like getting the right
• 20:14
  things and and now it's like I'm unfazed because you just you
• 20:18
  expand your capacity when you continue to expose yourself to
• 20:21
  things that are a little bit scary at 1st, and then you start
• 20:25
  to build your confidence in your belief and it just, it just
• 20:28
  compounds, which is amazing. So I'm going to wrap this up,
• 20:32
  but I hope you just kind of take away the part of how try new
• 20:36
  things. It really teaches you so much
• 20:38
  about yourself and it really expands so much about yourself
• 20:41
  when it comes to all the things about your growth and your
• 20:45
  ability to expand your capacity. And so I challenge you.
• 20:49
  Oh yes, I challenge you. You don't have to do 100 new
• 20:53
  things, but I would love for you to at least list 10 new things
• 20:58
  that you would like to try for the first time.
• 21:01
  I'd love for you to list 10 new things that you would like to
• 21:04
  try for the first time. Maybe something small could be
• 21:07
  something big. And I would love for you to at
• 21:10
  least share one of them with me. And you can share that with me
• 21:14
  by sending me Adm on LinkedIn at Danny Tam.
• 21:18
  And I would love to know what it is.
• 21:20
  I think for me, I have like a long list of things I want to
• 21:23
  try rock climbing, I want to try ice climbing.
• 21:25
  I wanted to do skydiving, but that's a lot of skills and so I
• 21:29
  want to try like van life. But even something is just as
• 21:34
  simple as like I just, I want to try a lot of things for the
• 21:36
  first time. So I'm curious for you what
• 21:37
  you'd like to try for the first time.
• 21:41
