Speaker 1: Hello, beautiful people, and welcome to the episode of today.
0:16
Speaker 1: I am pumped at the theme of this episode because
0:21
Speaker 1: it is something that I was really excited putting together,
0:25
Speaker 1: because I'm going to start implementing these things again. There's
0:29
Speaker 1: certain things that this is what I love about the podcast.
0:31
Speaker 1: When I revisit certain topics, I can then implement them.
0:34
Speaker 1: So I'm helping myself as I'm helping you. So it's
0:36
Speaker 1: a win win win win t T Teach to Tick
0:38
Speaker 1: for everyone. But this episode, if you haven't read the title,
0:41
Speaker 1: is how to Get Good at just about anything. We
0:45
Speaker 1: are talking about how to improve on something that you're
0:47
Speaker 1: already working on, how to start something from scratch and
0:51
Speaker 1: get good at it. We're talking about mastery, we're talking
0:54
Speaker 1: about general improvement. But it's the idea of wanting to
0:59
Speaker 1: get better at something. This is different to just wanting
1:02
Speaker 1: to acquire knowledge on how to do the bare basics
1:04
Speaker 1: of something, go and listen to something else for that.
1:06
Speaker 1: This is about genuinely getting good at pretty much anything. Okay,
1:12
Speaker 1: how do you do it? Now? I'm not gonna do
1:14
Speaker 1: a specific brain fact because in this episode I'll talk
1:17
Speaker 1: a little bit about the brain and it's worrying and
1:19
Speaker 1: all that stuff. I'm also not going to do a
1:23
Speaker 1: life update because I'm actually recording this podcast in advance. Well,
1:26
Speaker 1: this is the life update for you because currently, as
1:29
Speaker 1: we speak, well not right now, as I'm recording it,
1:32
Speaker 1: I'm recording in Sydney. But while you're listening to this,
1:34
Speaker 1: as I speak in your ear, I am I'm guessing
1:37
Speaker 1: I'll be in like Ibetha or Madrid, sipping on some Sangria.
1:42
Speaker 1: Love that for me, Love that for me. I'll be
1:45
Speaker 1: with Lucy Jackson. I'll be with Tyrone. We're having a
1:48
Speaker 1: great old time. I just oh, can't wait, can't wait,
1:51
Speaker 1: can't wait to share with you after the fact. But anyway,
1:54
Speaker 1: and yes, I have done two euro trips in one year.
1:57
Speaker 1: Don't sue me. To the topic of today, I did
2:17
Speaker 1: want to speak about my audiobook which is coming out
2:20
Speaker 1: very soon. It is called How to Chase Change Thirty
2:23
Speaker 1: Days to Master Your Mindset. This audiobook is I'm so
2:28
Speaker 1: excited for you guys to do it. It's I think
2:30
Speaker 1: it's unreal. It goes for thirty days. You listen to
2:33
Speaker 1: roughly ten minutes a day for thirty days, and after
2:35
Speaker 1: every single session or module, you get either a piece
2:40
Speaker 1: of homework, an exercise to do, or further resources for
2:44
Speaker 1: you to further your knowledge in that topic. But there
2:46
Speaker 1: is something, a task or a resource every single day
2:49
Speaker 1: for those thirty days you can be doing it. It
2:52
Speaker 1: can take you longer than the thirty days, but it
2:54
Speaker 1: is designed. By the end of that thirty day period,
2:58
Speaker 1: your life is absolutely transformed. You've got a much better
3:02
Speaker 1: understanding of who you are and what you want. If
3:04
Speaker 1: you want to pre order the book, just check the
3:07
Speaker 1: link in the bio and you can click on that
3:09
Speaker 1: link and pre order the book. It comes out September tenth,
3:13
Speaker 1: so get your pre orders in. I'm so excited and
3:16
Speaker 1: I can't wait to hear from you guys and hear
3:19
Speaker 1: what you think about the book. Let's talk about how
3:21
Speaker 1: to get good or better at just about anything, because
3:25
Speaker 1: right now where you are, you are sitting on a
3:28
Speaker 1: lot of potential. We all are sitting on a lot
3:31
Speaker 1: of potential. But potential really unless you unless you kind
3:35
Speaker 1: of hone in on a skill and invest time and
3:38
Speaker 1: invest energy, and you know, narrow down potential is kind
3:44
Speaker 1: of pointless, right. It's nice to sit in a position
3:49
Speaker 1: in the starting point and be able to look at
3:52
Speaker 1: all the things that you could do, and it's a
3:54
Speaker 1: bit scary to then choose one thing and invest all
3:56
Speaker 1: your time and energy into that thing. So a lot
3:58
Speaker 1: of people like the idea of sitting in potential and
4:01
Speaker 1: looking at how broad the scope is of what they
4:04
Speaker 1: could do, and they're scared to start to narrow things
4:06
Speaker 1: down and think what am I going to invest my
4:09
Speaker 1: time and energy and potentially money into. Okay, but the
4:13
Speaker 1: only way to get good at something is to narrow
4:15
Speaker 1: your focus down on something. The beauty of it is
4:17
Speaker 1: you can always change your mind. If you don't like something,
4:19
Speaker 1: you can turn around. But sitting in potential, untapped potential,
4:24
Speaker 1: is pointless. You go nowhere, it feels nice in the moment,
4:27
Speaker 1: but you get nothing out of it, and then you
4:29
Speaker 1: look back and there's nothing worse than looking back and
4:32
Speaker 1: thinking I had wasted potential. Okay, So if you've got potential,
4:36
Speaker 1: do something about it. Sitting there thinking oh, I could
4:38
Speaker 1: do all these things is a waste of your fucking time. Okay,
4:41
Speaker 1: narrow it down, do something, do anything, but narrow it down.
4:45
Speaker 1: I'll just give you a tiny example. Last night, I
4:48
Speaker 1: went to bed feeling so fucking fulfilled. I can't explain
4:52
Speaker 1: to you the amount of self pride that I felt
4:55
Speaker 1: because I solved a very random problem and it really
4:58
Speaker 1: fulfilled me so much. And this is what intentional focus
5:02
Speaker 1: does for you, no matter what it is, no matter
5:04
Speaker 1: how arbitrary that thing is. So Tyrone's brother and partner
5:08
Speaker 1: just had a baby and we went to visit them
5:11
Speaker 1: and they're setting up the crib and there's a mobile
5:14
Speaker 1: over the crib, this really cute mobile, and it had
5:16
Speaker 1: all these clouds, these like stuffed toy clouds, but they
5:19
Speaker 1: were tangled in the tightest not like I can't explain
5:23
Speaker 1: this not it was crazy. Everyone had already spent hours
5:25
Speaker 1: on it. Everyone was like, no, we've tried, we've tried,
5:26
Speaker 1: we've done this, we've detached it, we've done this, we
5:28
Speaker 1: can't it's done. We're just gonna have to buy a
5:29
Speaker 1: new one. And I was like, don't fucking tempt me
5:32
Speaker 1: with a good time. Give me that fucking mobile. Detached
5:34
Speaker 1: it from the crib and I took it home with
5:36
Speaker 1: me and I started at like seven pm. I'm like,
5:38
Speaker 1: I'm fucking I'm doing this thing. I love puzzles, I
5:42
Speaker 1: love a challenge, and I just took my time. I
5:45
Speaker 1: didn't stress. I just thought, this will take me as
5:47
Speaker 1: long as it takes me. It can take me days,
5:48
Speaker 1: I don't care. I'm going to solve this thing. Anyway,
5:52
Speaker 1: within like an hour and a half, I fucking did it.
5:54
Speaker 1: I'm so proud of myself. It involved me having to
5:57
Speaker 1: squish these stuff toy clouds into the tiniest shapes and
6:00
Speaker 1: shove them through. Anyway, the point is I solved it
6:03
Speaker 1: went back so fucking proud of myself. I was like,
6:06
Speaker 1: ha ha ha ha. So smug returned and got all
6:08
Speaker 1: the accolades. I was thrilled. Anyway, I went home so
6:11
Speaker 1: proud of myself having untangled this cloud mobile that hangs
6:15
Speaker 1: over a crib, and I was just high online. Honestly,
6:19
Speaker 1: I was so high because I I had just done something.
6:22
Speaker 1: It was focused, it was intentional. You could have said
6:25
Speaker 1: anything to me and I probably wouldn't have even heard it.
6:27
Speaker 1: I was so in the zone. And this is the
6:29
Speaker 1: beauty of intentional focus to achieve something. It makes you
6:34
Speaker 1: feel good. So we're going to talk about this in
6:37
Speaker 1: any sense because I don't want you to think I
6:38
Speaker 1: now have to apply this. What alexis is talking about
6:41
Speaker 1: to my career. Fuck career for today. Let's just fuck
6:44
Speaker 1: the career of for today. Let's pick anything we want
6:47
Speaker 1: and just get good at it. I think it's more fun.
6:49
Speaker 1: I mean, if you have fun in your career, by
6:51
Speaker 1: all means, do it with your career. But I think
6:53
Speaker 1: it's at times more fun to pick something that's not
6:56
Speaker 1: attached to financial means. It's not attached to an ink
7:00
Speaker 1: to your livelihood, but it's something completely separate that's just
7:05
Speaker 1: for you, where you can really reap the emotional and
7:09
Speaker 1: neurotransmitter rewards from doing that thing and seeing improvement and
7:14
Speaker 1: not having financial pressure side of it attached to it. Okay,
7:18
Speaker 1: so you will realize that you get a lot out
7:22
Speaker 1: of doing things for yourself that are not linked to payment.
7:25
Speaker 1: We're so obsessed with, you know, like if someone's good,
7:30
Speaker 1: it's at a hobby, Oh my god, you should turn
7:31
Speaker 1: this into a business. Oh my god, Oh my god.
7:33
Speaker 1: And that's all well and good to do that, but
7:35
Speaker 1: I don't want you to ever lose the passion of
7:36
Speaker 1: doing something, because sometimes it's the most passionate when there's
7:39
Speaker 1: no stress related to it. Maybe you turn your passion
7:41
Speaker 1: into a business. You're innately going to bring some stress
7:44
Speaker 1: into that as well. So that's just me going on
7:45
Speaker 1: a tangent. But we're sitting on a lot of potential.
7:47
Speaker 1: There's all this stuff that you could do. But we're
7:51
Speaker 1: going to talk about how to improve a skill and
7:55
Speaker 1: basically become unstoppable with that skill, any single skill that
7:58
Speaker 1: you have. And I'm going to break it down into
8:00
Speaker 1: to certain segments, and it is about seeing constant improvement
8:04
Speaker 1: on a skill. And this applies to mental tasks, physical tasks, hobbies,
8:08
Speaker 1: professional It could be a sport, a physical skill, an instrument.
8:11
Speaker 1: It could be learning science, it could be being a surgeon,
8:14
Speaker 1: it could be a being a singer, podcaster, anything, okay, anything.
8:20
Speaker 1: So I personally think that you should always be striving
8:24
Speaker 1: for improvement, not only because of one of the ways
8:28
Speaker 1: to make you feel fulfilled within yourself and to create
8:31
Speaker 1: your own value in your own eyes to feel like
8:34
Speaker 1: you are valuable is to see growth and improvement within yourself,
8:38
Speaker 1: but also from a neural benefit and a neuroprotective standpoint,
8:42
Speaker 1: I think you should always aim to improve at a skill,
8:46
Speaker 1: okay always. The brain needs to be used and more
8:51
Speaker 1: importantly or just as importantly, I should say it needs
8:54
Speaker 1: to be challenged in order to continue to create new
8:58
Speaker 1: connections and keep gray matter nice and juicy and in abundance. Okay,
9:05
Speaker 1: you are better off trying to strive for improvement on
9:11
Speaker 1: tasks until the day you die, even if you never
9:14
Speaker 1: master it. Then mastering something early on in life and
9:18
Speaker 1: just doing it on autopilot for the rest of your life. Literally,
9:22
Speaker 1: you are better off. And the reason for that is
9:25
Speaker 1: when you are good at something. So for example, if
9:27
Speaker 1: you're bilingual, that's great. There's a lot of neural benefits
9:31
Speaker 1: to being bilingual, but to just be bilingual for them
9:33
Speaker 1: the rest of your life, you're better off actually striving
9:38
Speaker 1: to then go in and learn a third language, or
9:40
Speaker 1: if you're if you only have one language, you're better
9:42
Speaker 1: of like really fighting to learn another language and challenging
9:45
Speaker 1: your brain, challenging and using that skill and challenging and
9:48
Speaker 1: struggling and overcoming and learning right until your old age,
9:52
Speaker 1: because you are really putting your brain to good use.
9:55
Speaker 1: It's there are a lot of neural benefits to be bilingual,
9:58
Speaker 1: but there's even more benefits to learning throughout your whole
10:02
Speaker 1: life and being challenged and also conscious improvement. And I'll
10:06
Speaker 1: go into that in a second, okay, and I'm going
10:08
Speaker 1: to talk about this, so I'll talk about the neural benefits,
10:11
Speaker 1: and then I'm going to talk about how you're going
10:13
Speaker 1: to get good at anything you want to do. There's
10:16
Speaker 1: something called cognitive reserve. This is your mini brain fact
10:18
Speaker 1: for the day. There's something called cognitive reserve, and we
10:20
Speaker 1: all need to get very fucking clear on what that is.
10:23
Speaker 1: And we need to work on our cognitive reserve. Now.
10:25
Speaker 1: I don't care how old you are, wherever you are
10:27
Speaker 1: right now, you want to start today on your cognitive reserve.
10:30
Speaker 1: Cognitive reserve is basically where you have a reserve in
10:34
Speaker 1: your brain, so that way, when things start to degenerate,
10:37
Speaker 1: it takes your brain longer for you to suffer the
10:41
Speaker 1: results of degeneration than someone who doesn't have as much
10:44
Speaker 1: cognitive reserve. So you were not This is the analogy.
10:47
Speaker 1: I've used this in the past, but this is how
10:48
Speaker 1: you want to look at it. If you have a
10:50
Speaker 1: tree right with a fucked ton of leaves, and you shake, shake,
10:55
Speaker 1: shake the tree, all these leaves are going to fall off,
10:58
Speaker 1: but there's also going to be leaves that have stayed
11:01
Speaker 1: on that tree. Okay, if you have a tree that
11:03
Speaker 1: doesn't have many leaves, and you give it a really
11:05
Speaker 1: fucking hard shake, there's going to be not many leaves
11:08
Speaker 1: left on that tree, as a bunch of fleas would
11:10
Speaker 1: have fallen off. Okay, you want to look at the
11:12
Speaker 1: brain the same way. As you age, you start to decline,
11:16
Speaker 1: the brain begins to decline. Then if you have the
11:18
Speaker 1: gene for dementia, the gene for Alzheimer's, if you've done
11:21
Speaker 1: all these things, you know, then you might actually start
11:24
Speaker 1: to lose a lot of the gray matter. But if
11:26
Speaker 1: you've worked on your cognitive reserve, so you want to
11:28
Speaker 1: look at dementia, you want to look at degeneration as
11:30
Speaker 1: this atrophy in the brain, as the shaking of the tree. Okay,
11:34
Speaker 1: So if you don't have cognitive reserve, and you've just
11:37
Speaker 1: done the bare minimum, just like gone through life, and
11:39
Speaker 1: you've not really worked on challenging yourself, you don't have
11:42
Speaker 1: crazy social you know, connections, you're not working on a
11:45
Speaker 1: healthy diet, you're not working on proper sleep and recovery,
11:48
Speaker 1: then you might then you get let's say dementia. The
11:52
Speaker 1: dimension will kick in probably and the symptoms will be visible.
11:55
Speaker 1: Twenty years fifteen years before you die. Someone with cognitive reserve,
11:59
Speaker 1: and this has been I'm not just saying this just
12:00
Speaker 1: to talk shit. This has been seen in scans. Someone
12:04
Speaker 1: with cognitive with really good cognitive reserve as centenary and
12:07
Speaker 1: they've lived to one hundred, they might have dementia but
12:10
Speaker 1: not realize that they have dementia, and not just them,
12:13
Speaker 1: but the people around them might not realize that they
12:16
Speaker 1: have dementia until the last couple of years of their
12:18
Speaker 1: life because their cognitive reserve was so good that while
12:21
Speaker 1: we're seeing all this atrophy in the brain, they were
12:25
Speaker 1: working on maintaining so much use of their brain with
12:29
Speaker 1: social connections, with working on a skill, with being useful,
12:32
Speaker 1: with feeling part of a community, diet, exercise, everything that
12:37
Speaker 1: the symptoms and the you know, the expression of the
12:42
Speaker 1: disease was not noticeable until the final years of their life.
12:46
Speaker 1: So if you go back to that tree analogy, there
12:48
Speaker 1: were way more connections within the brain that when you
12:51
Speaker 1: were shaking, shaking, shaking, shaking, there was still there was
12:53
Speaker 1: the brain was being atrophied, but it takes a whole
12:56
Speaker 1: lot longer for that brain to break down because you've
12:58
Speaker 1: got all this reserve and the way you achieve reserve
13:01
Speaker 1: is through obviously a lot of balance, already mentioned all
13:04
Speaker 1: of it. But one of the ways, and one of
13:07
Speaker 1: a really fucking solid way of achieving reserve other than
13:11
Speaker 1: of course exercise and good sleep and diet, is to
13:15
Speaker 1: learn and challenge yourself always until the day you die.
13:20
Speaker 1: You never want to stop. It's so fucking good for
13:22
Speaker 1: the brain. Okay, So even if you did it just
13:24
Speaker 1: for cognitive reserve purposes, then you're doing it for a
13:26
Speaker 1: fucking good reason. Okay. So there is like I like
13:30
Speaker 1: I've said this in the past, but there's no way
13:32
Speaker 1: to stop degeneration in its tracks. But you can work
13:36
Speaker 1: on increasing brain volume, which then has an effect on
13:39
Speaker 1: slowing down degeneration because you've got more mass there. Okay,
13:43
Speaker 1: Now let's talk about actually what we're here to talk about,
13:48
Speaker 1: how to get good about how to get good at
13:50
Speaker 1: almost anything. So we're going to start with key key factors,
13:54
Speaker 1: the key points, and the first one is time spent
13:58
Speaker 1: on something. Now, there's a book that I've been reading.
14:00
Speaker 1: It's called Bounce. I actually started reading this about a
14:04
Speaker 1: year and a half ago, and then I left it
14:05
Speaker 1: in a bag. I couldn't find it for ages. And
14:07
Speaker 1: now I just found it again, so I've gone back
14:08
Speaker 1: to the start. It's called Bounce, and it talks a
14:11
Speaker 1: lot about this ten thousand hours to master anything. I
14:14
Speaker 1: think a lot of us have heard about the ten
14:16
Speaker 1: thousand hour rule to master anything, and it talks about
14:18
Speaker 1: the importance of how much time you need to dedicate
14:21
Speaker 1: to a task, but also how it's more than just
14:24
Speaker 1: dedicating tasks to that time. Now, the studies are not
14:26
Speaker 1: one hundred percent sure, like we've looked at the science
14:29
Speaker 1: and off that if it's exactly ten thousand hours and
14:32
Speaker 1: if that's the bare minimum. But what we do know
14:33
Speaker 1: for sure is that time, the more time, the better obviously, Okay,
14:37
Speaker 1: what is more important than just time is something called
14:41
Speaker 1: focused conscious attention, not subconsciously doing something. So when you're
14:47
Speaker 1: trying to master something, a lot of people think, oh, well,
14:49
Speaker 1: you get to the point where you're doing it subconsciously,
14:52
Speaker 1: then it's good, which is true to an extent. When
14:54
Speaker 1: you do something subconsciously, it means that you're able to
14:57
Speaker 1: do it on autopilot, but you'll also stop you've stopped
15:01
Speaker 1: improving consciously improving. You might tweak a few things here
15:05
Speaker 1: and there, but you're not necessarily improving. So just because
15:08
Speaker 1: you've done something for a very long amount of for
15:10
Speaker 1: a long duration, over a bunch of a bunch of decades,
15:13
Speaker 1: it does not necessarily mean that you're going to keep
15:15
Speaker 1: getting better if you're doing it on autopilot. And a
15:18
Speaker 1: prime example of this is driving. People that have driven
15:22
Speaker 1: for fifty years are not necessarily professional drivers, not by
15:28
Speaker 1: a fuck a long mile. I think we all know
15:30
Speaker 1: someone that's had their license for years and you're like,
15:32
Speaker 1: how the fuck did you pass your driver's test. It's
15:36
Speaker 1: probably because they've actually declined because they've been so on
15:40
Speaker 1: autopilot and there's been no intention to improve. So intentional focus,
15:45
Speaker 1: consciously is necessary for improvement. So just time doing that
15:50
Speaker 1: thing just on autopilot is not enough, not even close
15:56
Speaker 1: to being enough. So when you're working on a task,
15:58
Speaker 1: you have to ask yourself not only investing time in this,
16:01
Speaker 1: but am I consciously doing this thing and with an
16:04
Speaker 1: intention to improve? That's the first question you want to
16:07
Speaker 1: ask yourself. Okay, you want to take away the autopilot
16:12
Speaker 1: aspect of it, because that's not really what's going to
16:16
Speaker 1: help you actually improve. So you want to kind of
16:18
Speaker 1: look at your skills like that, if you feel that
16:21
Speaker 1: you've plateaued on a skill, it's likely because you're kind
16:25
Speaker 1: of doing it subconsciously. Now it's a bit more of
16:28
Speaker 1: an autopilot thing. So you want to kind of ask yourself, Okay,
16:30
Speaker 1: now how do I make this conscious again? I need
16:32
Speaker 1: to focus on this consciously. So the next thing is
16:37
Speaker 1: you need to know what it is that you want
16:40
Speaker 1: to achieve within that goal. And you can break it
16:43
Speaker 1: up into many things, but you have to have a
16:44
Speaker 1: clear objective on what it is that you want to
16:46
Speaker 1: achieve that is within your control. It has to be
16:49
Speaker 1: within your control. So for example, I mentioned podcasting earlier.
16:52
Speaker 1: You can't be like, I want to achieve a million
16:54
Speaker 1: downloads a month. That's not a one hundred percent within
16:58
Speaker 1: your control because your audience has to Actually, you could
17:00
Speaker 1: say I want to be able to hit x amount
17:03
Speaker 1: of markers on the podcast, or I want to feel
17:05
Speaker 1: like I'm speaking a lot more naturally, or I want
17:08
Speaker 1: to be able to be off script. Right, these are
17:09
Speaker 1: all things that are within your control. Okay, So when
17:12
Speaker 1: I talk about what that improvement looks like, it has
17:14
Speaker 1: to be something that is that is tangible, measurable, that
17:18
Speaker 1: you have the power of doing one hundred percent on
17:21
Speaker 1: you okay, But it's important to also know the next
17:24
Speaker 1: thing is what it is that you are heading towards,
17:26
Speaker 1: have a goalpost to move towards. If you just think
17:28
Speaker 1: I want to get better, then you could put many, many, many,
17:31
Speaker 1: many many hours of practice and not realize what it
17:33
Speaker 1: is that you're doing correctly and also not challenging yourself properly.
17:36
Speaker 1: You could be playing the same song and the guitar
17:38
Speaker 1: forever thinking oh, this is what I need to do
17:40
Speaker 1: to improve, but is it okay? So when you know
17:43
Speaker 1: where you want to get towards, Let's say you're a dancer.
17:45
Speaker 1: So instead of saying I want to become a good dancer,
17:47
Speaker 1: you could say I want to nail a single pair
17:50
Speaker 1: of wet Just nail the single payrowet before anything else.
17:53
Speaker 1: That's what I want to do. I want to nail it, okay,
17:56
Speaker 1: Or I want to nail the splits, or I want
17:57
Speaker 1: to nail whatever it is. But you have to have
17:59
Speaker 1: very key, key key markers, and you can have multiple
18:03
Speaker 1: key markers that you can look towards. You can have
18:05
Speaker 1: some that are all on the same level but focusing
18:07
Speaker 1: on a different skill set or you could have this
18:09
Speaker 1: is marker A. Once I've done A, then I'm gonna
18:11
Speaker 1: look at mastering B then say you can do it
18:13
Speaker 1: as a ladder. Okay, but I think it's very important
18:16
Speaker 1: that you need to understand what it is that you
18:19
Speaker 1: are wanting to achieve. Okay. Now, the next thing, which
18:22
Speaker 1: is probably the most important thing, is the need for feedback.
18:29
Speaker 1: You have to be willing to look at the data.
18:32
Speaker 1: You've got to be willing to look back at what
18:34
Speaker 1: you've done and look at what's worked, and look at
18:37
Speaker 1: what hasn't worked. Okay, this is where you film yourself.
18:41
Speaker 1: This is where you record yourself. This is where you
18:45
Speaker 1: teach someone what you just learned and see the gaps
18:48
Speaker 1: in your own knowledge. If you just listened to my
18:50
Speaker 1: episode a couple of weeks ago about how to get
18:52
Speaker 1: better at studying, a lot of that kind of applies
18:55
Speaker 1: to this. It's different, it's quite different, but you can
18:57
Speaker 1: you can use that in addition to this, and then
19:00
Speaker 1: you really will fucking be unstoppable. But you need feedback.
19:03
Speaker 1: So when I first started my podcast, one thing that
19:05
Speaker 1: I did was every and I'm going to start doing
19:07
Speaker 1: this again because I actually, really I don't know why
19:10
Speaker 1: I stopped. The one thing that I would always do
19:12
Speaker 1: is the day that the podcast would go out, I
19:14
Speaker 1: would go for a walk alone, put my headphones in
19:18
Speaker 1: and I would go and buy myself a coffee and
19:20
Speaker 1: just walk around Sydney and listen back to my episode.
19:24
Speaker 1: And that was my form of feedback. And I noticed
19:28
Speaker 1: that it would be I would be like, oh, I'm
19:31
Speaker 1: a bit rushed today. Why was I rushed in the
19:33
Speaker 1: came Maybe I need to record it on a different time.
19:35
Speaker 1: Or I was like, oh, I loved my humor in
19:37
Speaker 1: that one. I need to bring more humor into it.
19:39
Speaker 1: I really liked the aspects of humor, so I'll bring
19:41
Speaker 1: more of that into it this. So I started really realizing, hey,
19:45
Speaker 1: more of this, less if this, and actually, i'll tell
19:47
Speaker 1: you right now, I'll tell you when that stopped. I
19:49
Speaker 1: stopped doing that when that whole saga of my podcast
19:52
Speaker 1: getting taken down and then that kind of stopped it.
19:54
Speaker 1: I feel like a lot of things changed in that
19:57
Speaker 1: trajectory being dead honest with you guys. And then when
19:59
Speaker 1: it came, it was very stressful time. So I feel
20:01
Speaker 1: like a lot of my routines for the podcast got halted.
20:04
Speaker 1: But it is something that I'm going to start doing
20:05
Speaker 1: again because I really enjoyed the feedback aspect of listening
20:09
Speaker 1: back to my episodes, and I feel that that was
20:11
Speaker 1: one of the main reasons why I noticed, at least
20:14
Speaker 1: I did personally, I noticed improvement in the quality of
20:17
Speaker 1: the episodes that I was putting out. I really liked that.
20:19
Speaker 1: So it doesn't matter what it is that you're doing,
20:21
Speaker 1: but go back and review your work. If you are
20:23
Speaker 1: a dancer, film it. If you are doing an instrument,
20:26
Speaker 1: record it. If you want to master the Rubik's cube,
20:28
Speaker 1: film yourself do the Rubik's Cube. I don't care what
20:31
Speaker 1: it is, but you need to be able to record
20:34
Speaker 1: the data and look back and give yourself feedback on
20:39
Speaker 1: your performance. If you are not willing to look back
20:42
Speaker 1: to see what is working and more importantly, what is
20:46
Speaker 1: not working, then it's kind of like the blind leading
20:49
Speaker 1: the blind. Really, you're just simply doing something in hope
20:51
Speaker 1: that it sticks, which is fine, but it's not fine
20:54
Speaker 1: if you want to master something, if you want to
20:56
Speaker 1: get really good at something, you cannot get good at
20:58
Speaker 1: something if you do not have mistakes to learn from. Okay,
21:02
Speaker 1: you need mistakes to learn from. If you are not
21:06
Speaker 1: making mistakes. It's because you're not challenging yourself enough. Okay.
21:10
Speaker 1: And another problem with not learning from your mistakes is
21:13
Speaker 1: that you don't know what you're doing right, so something's
21:15
Speaker 1: just gone. Well. That's why a lot of people have
21:17
Speaker 1: imposter syndrome when they fluke it, because they think, well,
21:21
Speaker 1: not even fluke it. But if someone does something and
21:23
Speaker 1: there's no flaws in it, a lot of people get
21:25
Speaker 1: imposter syndrome because they're like, well, you know, how do
21:27
Speaker 1: I replicate it? How do I do this again? How
21:29
Speaker 1: do I make sure that I are It's because they
21:31
Speaker 1: don't have mistakes to learn from. It's because they don't
21:33
Speaker 1: yet know if they can repeat it. If given the
21:35
Speaker 1: opportunity again, we feel a lot more confident. You don't
21:39
Speaker 1: like admitting that you've made mistakes, but I can tell
21:41
Speaker 1: you right now mistakes are necessary for you to improve
21:44
Speaker 1: because then it confirms that the right thing that I
21:47
Speaker 1: was doing was right for a reason, and the wrong
21:49
Speaker 1: that I think I was doing was wrong, and this
21:52
Speaker 1: is what it's caused, which is a good thing because
21:55
Speaker 1: now I can know how to tweak it. Now I
21:57
Speaker 1: know how to fix that thing and do more of
21:59
Speaker 1: the good thing. If you're sitting here thinking, oh, but
22:02
Speaker 1: I never make mistakes, you need to challenge yourself. You
22:04
Speaker 1: need to step it up. You need to make it
22:05
Speaker 1: harder for yourself. Okay, if you're watching a video right now,
22:09
Speaker 1: the video of my podcast my dog is this is
22:11
Speaker 1: in socials, My dog is like up in my grill.
22:13
Speaker 1: Errors are great teachers, and not just not just in skill,
22:17
Speaker 1: but honestly in life. Errors are the best teachers for
22:20
Speaker 1: you moving forward. You can loan from them, you can.
22:24
Speaker 1: It teaches you how to edit things. It teaches you
22:26
Speaker 1: how to stay on track. It teaches you how to
22:28
Speaker 1: pivot without errors, without mistakes, it's really hard to know
22:31
Speaker 1: if you're headed in the right direction, or if it's
22:33
Speaker 1: just a fluke, or if you don't really know if
22:35
Speaker 1: there's a better option for you out there. Okay, Now,
22:38
Speaker 1: understanding your errors and ironing out the wrinkles at the
22:41
Speaker 1: start before progressing will actually make you get to your
22:46
Speaker 1: goal a whole lot faster in the long term. It's
22:49
Speaker 1: all about nailing the foundations. Now, a lot of coaches
22:53
Speaker 1: really work around this concept of nailing the foundations. They
22:56
Speaker 1: will make pro athletes go back to the foundations and
23:01
Speaker 1: go again and again. And these are people that have
23:03
Speaker 1: done this for decades. But then they make these professionals
23:07
Speaker 1: go back to the foundations. Why because they need to
23:09
Speaker 1: see if they can wrinkle out any errors in the foundations.
23:13
Speaker 1: Because you can't excel above that unless you have nailed
23:17
Speaker 1: the foundation. Okay, you might have gotten good at this
23:20
Speaker 1: random skill here, this random skill there, but if you
23:22
Speaker 1: don't have your foundations to fall back on, it means
23:24
Speaker 1: that you're falling back to square one every time instead
23:27
Speaker 1: of falling back to square five or whatever. Because you've
23:29
Speaker 1: got the base layer, then you add the layers on,
23:32
Speaker 1: and they've got to be solid, solid, solid layers. And
23:34
Speaker 1: the only way you can do that is through feedback
23:37
Speaker 1: off your mistakes and off your errors. Okay, if the
23:41
Speaker 1: foundations are not there, then the structure is going to
23:44
Speaker 1: be weak and there will be holes. So this applies
23:47
Speaker 1: for skills, businesses, careers, mental health, everything, relationships. So you've
23:51
Speaker 1: got to be open, you've got to be willing to
23:53
Speaker 1: look at your mistakes and repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, And
23:56
Speaker 1: then next stage where you make mistakes, mistake mispakes, it's
24:00
Speaker 1: it's it's clunky, it's whatever. It's clunky, it's sort of,
24:02
Speaker 1: but the foundation is there, so if you need to
24:04
Speaker 1: fall back and return to where you were, that's solid. Now.
24:27
Speaker 1: The next thing is the importance of taking breaks to
24:31
Speaker 1: consolidate your information. The thing that you've just learned, Okay,
24:35
Speaker 1: so we need to be able to work on that thing.
24:38
Speaker 1: Take a break, whether it be within the same day
24:42
Speaker 1: or with in between two days. Ideally it's between day,
24:46
Speaker 1: like you want a day in between and then return
24:48
Speaker 1: to that task again and do that thing. You need
24:50
Speaker 1: to be able to consolidate. You don't you don't want
24:53
Speaker 1: to overload your brain with too many things. The next
24:55
Speaker 1: thing that you want to think about is when you
24:57
Speaker 1: are improving something, pick on one thing at a time.
24:59
Speaker 1: So when I was training up to be a Polariti's instructor,
25:04
Speaker 1: one of the trainers that was training me that I
25:07
Speaker 1: was shadowing, he showed me this unbelievable video. It was
25:09
Speaker 1: such it was such a good coaching video. And it
25:12
Speaker 1: was this coach who had this gymnast on those beams
25:15
Speaker 1: doing the balancing beam or whatever it's called. And he
25:18
Speaker 1: said to the gymnasts, you're going to focus on these
25:21
Speaker 1: this this He probably gave her ten things to focus
25:24
Speaker 1: on and then she went and executed the thing and
25:26
Speaker 1: it was a fucking shambles and she kind of was
25:27
Speaker 1: really unsteady and landed, and then he got her back
25:31
Speaker 1: up and he said, I just want you to focus
25:32
Speaker 1: on this one thing. You're gonna do it all. Don't
25:34
Speaker 1: think about anything, but focus on one one thing out
25:38
Speaker 1: of the many that he wanted her to improve. She
25:40
Speaker 1: did it, and she nailed it. Yes, there were still
25:42
Speaker 1: a few you know things that he needs to her
25:43
Speaker 1: to focus on in other areas, but the importance of
25:45
Speaker 1: focusing on one thing at a time actually helps you
25:48
Speaker 1: stay more focused until you nail that one thing, then
25:51
Speaker 1: you improve other things. And the importance of this was
25:53
Speaker 1: often when we teach, when we teach our clients in
25:57
Speaker 1: polaratees how to do things, we sometimes over load them
26:00
Speaker 1: with way too much shit and a lot of the
26:02
Speaker 1: things that we're trying to tell them is probably not
26:04
Speaker 1: necessary for them to get an effective workout. So he
26:06
Speaker 1: was teaching me this so I could be a better trainer,
26:08
Speaker 1: and it really helped me because I thought, when I
26:10
Speaker 1: look at a client, I don't train polities anymore and
26:13
Speaker 1: in a group setting with you know classes, but what
26:17
Speaker 1: I would do is when I would train my clients,
26:19
Speaker 1: I would think, what is the number one most important
26:22
Speaker 1: thing that I want to get them to get out
26:24
Speaker 1: of this exercise, and I would identify that thing, and
26:27
Speaker 1: then I would just tell them to improve that one thing,
26:29
Speaker 1: and i'd give them most easy queue to follow. That
26:32
Speaker 1: client would then nail that cueue because I'm not telling them,
26:35
Speaker 1: you know, oh, your back has to be the shoulders, shoulders, arms.
26:38
Speaker 1: Give them a thousand things and then they're falling over
26:40
Speaker 1: you give them one fucking thing. They nail that thing,
26:43
Speaker 1: and then I give them positive feedback on nailing that thing.
26:46
Speaker 1: It's the same goes for languages. If I'm trying to
26:48
Speaker 1: speak a language and someone's correcting every two words, I'm like, well,
26:52
Speaker 1: fuck this shit, I'm not getting anywhere. But if I
26:55
Speaker 1: speak so when I'm speaking French, you know, when I
26:58
Speaker 1: go to Paris and I'm talking to my I literally say,
27:01
Speaker 1: don't correct me on everything. Just correct me on one thing.
27:03
Speaker 1: If you're gonna if I've made a thousand mistakes, I
27:06
Speaker 1: don't caay, just pick one thing, the most important thing,
27:08
Speaker 1: and just that because if you're gonna go and correct
27:10
Speaker 1: me on everything, I'm a not gonna remember, and b
27:12
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna be like, what's the fucking point. It's
27:14
Speaker 1: just a shambles. Okay, So allow yourself to make mistakes,
27:18
Speaker 1: but pick one thing to nail and then nail it
27:22
Speaker 1: and then work on the next mistake. So it's one
27:25
Speaker 1: thing at a time. Trust me, If you try and
27:27
Speaker 1: work on ten mistakes at a time, you're spreading yourself
27:29
Speaker 1: too thin. So on any skill that you're doing, it
27:32
Speaker 1: is one mistake at a time. Also, if someone fixes
27:36
Speaker 1: one error that I've done, I'm way more likely to
27:39
Speaker 1: remember it and take it on board that if someone's like,
27:42
Speaker 1: can I just give you feedback? And if they give
27:43
Speaker 1: me a thousand things, I'm not gonna take any of
27:45
Speaker 1: them on board. It's too overwhelming. Okay. The next one
27:48
Speaker 1: is the importance of taking breaks. I mentioned this in
27:50
Speaker 1: a study episode, but this is also important because it
27:53
Speaker 1: allows you to not only rest and recover, but it
27:56
Speaker 1: allows you to consolidate that what you learned about that
28:00
Speaker 1: mistake and put it into practice the following time you
28:02
Speaker 1: revisit that exercise or you revisit that task. Okay, So
28:06
Speaker 1: really important to do the breaks, ideally in between days
28:10
Speaker 1: or if you're going to do two practice sessions in
28:11
Speaker 1: a day, leave a few hours in between where you're
28:13
Speaker 1: allowing your mind to be loose and focus on other things,
28:16
Speaker 1: not that same thing. The next thing, which is really
28:18
Speaker 1: really important is something called which we've all heard of
28:21
Speaker 1: it visualization, especially after you are aware of what the
28:28
Speaker 1: era is and what the opposite of that era, what
28:31
Speaker 1: the correct way of doing it looks like. So there
28:34
Speaker 1: was all these studies that were done on visualization, and
28:39
Speaker 1: what they found really interesting on people that did visual
28:42
Speaker 1: motor rehearsal, visual motor rehearsal didn't really work on so
28:48
Speaker 1: visual motor rehearsal didn't really work on people. It's basically, okay,
28:53
Speaker 1: first I'll explain what it is. It's where they get
28:56
Speaker 1: a control group of people, where they get like three
28:59
Speaker 1: groups of people. Normally, one group of people that performs
29:02
Speaker 1: an exercise, say it's like shooting hoops in a basketball
29:04
Speaker 1: One group of people that doesn't really do anything. They
29:08
Speaker 1: just chill, they don't practice, they aren't nothing, and then
29:10
Speaker 1: another group of people that just visualizes them shooting the hoop,
29:13
Speaker 1: shooting the shooting the hoop. What they found is that
29:16
Speaker 1: people that just did the visual motor rehearsal did just
29:20
Speaker 1: as well as the people that actually did the motor
29:23
Speaker 1: rehearsal of the actual they did better than the you know,
29:26
Speaker 1: obviously than the control group, which is what they're what
29:28
Speaker 1: they're trying to find. Are they going to do better
29:29
Speaker 1: than the control group at shooting hoops? What the studies
29:32
Speaker 1: have found though, however, is that just doing visual motor
29:35
Speaker 1: rehearsal without actually knowing how to do something correctly doesn't
29:39
Speaker 1: benefit you. So if you don't actually know how to
29:42
Speaker 1: perform that skill at all, or you have no idea
29:44
Speaker 1: how it would feel like to perform that skill, say
29:47
Speaker 1: you've never shot a basketball through a hoop ever in
29:49
Speaker 1: your life. You've never held the basketball, you've never realized
29:51
Speaker 1: how high it is, the proportion, you never tried, and
29:53
Speaker 1: you're just doing all this visual motor rehearsal. That's not effective.
29:56
Speaker 1: It's not going to work because you need to know
29:58
Speaker 1: what it actually feels like to do it. So that's
30:00
Speaker 1: why it's so important to know what the error is, no,
30:03
Speaker 1: what it feels like to do it right. And then
30:05
Speaker 1: in addition to practicing something correctly with effort and focus
30:10
Speaker 1: and consciously practicing it not on autopilot. In addition, as
30:14
Speaker 1: a tool, you use visual motor rehearsal to override how
30:18
Speaker 1: you've been doing it with the mistake, but do it
30:20
Speaker 1: correctly because we know what it feels like to do
30:22
Speaker 1: it correctly, then that will be a very very very
30:25
Speaker 1: beneficial tool. And again, this visual motor rehearsal can work
30:29
Speaker 1: for many things. You can be imagining yourself speaking more confidently,
30:32
Speaker 1: speaking with a different posture, You imagine yourself being more
30:35
Speaker 1: loose when you have an interview. You can you can
30:37
Speaker 1: still use it not just for specific movements such as
30:40
Speaker 1: shooting a hoop or doing a pirouette. You can apply
30:42
Speaker 1: that to many many other skills that you want to
30:47
Speaker 1: get better at within your life. So this visual motor rehearsal,
30:52
Speaker 1: use it as a tool, don't use it as the
30:54
Speaker 1: only thing that you're doing. Now we're going to break
30:56
Speaker 1: down in order what this like to get better at
31:01
Speaker 1: just about anything. So number one, you need to have
31:03
Speaker 1: a very clear idea of where it is that you're
31:05
Speaker 1: heading and break it down into categories. You want to
31:08
Speaker 1: break it down very simple, very clear, and if you
31:12
Speaker 1: can't be clear, it means you need to break that
31:14
Speaker 1: down even further. Don't you say I want to get better?
31:17
Speaker 1: I hate it when I say that. I say it
31:18
Speaker 1: to myself and it annoys me because it's not tangible.
31:21
Speaker 1: How do you measure that? It's like saying I want
31:23
Speaker 1: to be richer. Here's a fucking dollar. Now you're richer.
31:25
Speaker 1: Does that is that what you meant? No, So get specific.
31:28
Speaker 1: You can have an like, you can have a major goal,
31:31
Speaker 1: and then from that major goal, break down the specifics
31:33
Speaker 1: in between that and what's the closest next step. How
31:36
Speaker 1: clear is that? How well do you know what that
31:38
Speaker 1: looks like? That's the first thing. Number two, conscious practice.
31:42
Speaker 1: We're done with subconscious practice because we're not actually getting anywhere.
31:45
Speaker 1: We have to have focused attention on what it is
31:47
Speaker 1: that we are doing, not scattered attention, not you know,
31:51
Speaker 1: I'm multitasking. Focused attention. Number three, You have to also
31:56
Speaker 1: dedicate adequate amount of time on that thing. Repetition, repetition, repetition,
32:01
Speaker 1: repetition of focused attention is crucial. If you do ten
32:05
Speaker 1: hours one week, all in one day and then nothing
32:08
Speaker 1: for a month and then ten hours, that's not good enough.
32:09
Speaker 1: We want to be repeating with gaps in between regularly.
32:13
Speaker 1: So ideally, you're better off doing two hours three times
32:15
Speaker 1: a week or four times a week than one full
32:18
Speaker 1: day of just slogging it out, because this consolidation of
32:21
Speaker 1: what you've learned when you sleep is actually and breaking
32:24
Speaker 1: up that practice in between actually helps you consolidate it better.
32:29
Speaker 1: And it also helps you maintain the mastery of that
32:31
Speaker 1: thing that you've done, because you're revisiting it again and
32:34
Speaker 1: again and again in closer succession. That is crucial. It's
32:38
Speaker 1: very important. So that's why, I mean, we've all been
32:42
Speaker 1: there where you might feel like we've mastered something and
32:44
Speaker 1: then we take a few weeks off, we go to
32:46
Speaker 1: visit it and we're like, how could I have forgotten
32:48
Speaker 1: so much? It's because you need to revisit it regularly
32:52
Speaker 1: in order for it to stay top of mind, especially
32:54
Speaker 1: when it's a conscious task that you're trying to perform.
32:57
Speaker 1: The next thing is feedback. The importance of feedback and
33:01
Speaker 1: reviewing your mistakes. You cannot get better if you are
33:04
Speaker 1: not making mistakes. And if you're not making mistakes, it
33:06
Speaker 1: means that you are probably not challenging yourself enough, or
33:10
Speaker 1: you are making mistakes and you just don't realize it.
33:12
Speaker 1: And that's why you are plateauing. If you are plateauing,
33:15
Speaker 1: there's something that can be improved. Okay, you don't just
33:17
Speaker 1: plateau for no reason. Maybe something in the foundations wasn't right,
33:21
Speaker 1: So you've got to go back and review the footage,
33:23
Speaker 1: the recording, the video of you doing that thing. It's
33:26
Speaker 1: so important. That's why most athletes will review it. That's
33:30
Speaker 1: why most professional bodybuilders will train in front of a mirror,
33:33
Speaker 1: because they are watching how they are performing the exercise.
33:36
Speaker 1: They are striving for perfection. Okay, which if that's what
33:39
Speaker 1: you want. If you want perfection, you need to be
33:41
Speaker 1: able to have feedback. You need to review what it
33:44
Speaker 1: is that you are doing. Okay, revision, get the basics,
33:49
Speaker 1: and then progress. The next thing that you want to
33:52
Speaker 1: also focus on is quality in your focus and limit distractions.
33:56
Speaker 1: We don't want distractions in there. There's no fucking distractions.
33:59
Speaker 1: You want to put your phone on silent, you want
34:00
Speaker 1: to you know, time block, do all of that what
34:02
Speaker 1: I talk about in other episodes. But if you are
34:04
Speaker 1: being distracted, then that is going to eat into the
34:07
Speaker 1: quality of your focus. If you are rehearsing something, you
34:10
Speaker 1: close that door, you turn your phone on at least
34:13
Speaker 1: silent if not aeroplane mode, and you are staying on
34:17
Speaker 1: task and you are being focused. Okay, then you want
34:20
Speaker 1: to think about when we're talking about reviewing and focus
34:23
Speaker 1: and all of that, one thing at a time, like
34:26
Speaker 1: I spoke about the gymnast on the balancing beam, don't
34:28
Speaker 1: overwhelm yourself with so many corrections. When we're reviewing our mistakes,
34:31
Speaker 1: we tackle one mistake at a time. Once we are comfortable,
34:35
Speaker 1: and once that mistake, the correction of that mistake does
34:38
Speaker 1: become natural or on autopilot, then we do the next
34:42
Speaker 1: miss Then we tackle the next mistake. Okay, we want
34:44
Speaker 1: to feel comfortable, we want to feel that we've really
34:46
Speaker 1: nailed it, and then we move on to the next
34:48
Speaker 1: and the next, and the next and the next. So
34:49
Speaker 1: what is the most important thing I need to tackle
34:51
Speaker 1: and then don't worry about the other mistakes until I've
34:54
Speaker 1: got the foundation of that. Then move on to the
34:56
Speaker 1: next thing. And then of course you want to focus
34:59
Speaker 1: on other things outside of those physical practice hours that
35:03
Speaker 1: are going to help. So of course proper breaks, you
35:06
Speaker 1: need good sleep, and then of course you need the
35:08
Speaker 1: interval learning like I spoke about before, where you're you know,
35:11
Speaker 1: breaking it up into multiple segments, okay. And then lastly,
35:15
Speaker 1: as a tool when you know how to do that
35:17
Speaker 1: thing you want to perform visual motor rehearsal. There's a
35:21
Speaker 1: lot of studies that back visual motor rehearsal primarily or specifically,
35:26
Speaker 1: if you already know how to perform that movement, It
35:28
Speaker 1: is not going to be helpful if you've never done
35:30
Speaker 1: that movement before. There aren't studies at backet in that way.
35:33
Speaker 1: But to visually rehearse something you know how to do
35:37
Speaker 1: properly is it's a phenomenal tool to put into your
35:41
Speaker 1: toolbox to help you improve just about anything. So use it.
35:47
Speaker 1: Review your mistakes, become friends with your mistakes. This is
35:51
Speaker 1: all about friends, becoming you know, acquainted with your limitations,
35:53
Speaker 1: all of that. So many of us don't like to
35:55
Speaker 1: look back at mistakes because they feel like they just
35:58
Speaker 1: linger there forever. But the reason mistakes hang around for
36:01
Speaker 1: so long is because we're scared to look them dead
36:04
Speaker 1: in the eye. If you can face it dead in
36:06
Speaker 1: the eye, it seems smaller. It gets smaller and it
36:09
Speaker 1: doesn't affect you as much. Okay, guys, thank you so
36:12
Speaker 1: much for listening to this episode. I wanted it to
36:14
Speaker 1: be practical. I wanted it to be applicable to absolutely anything.
36:18
Speaker 1: Put it into practice and go through those key points
36:21
Speaker 1: which I broke down at the end, write them down,
36:25
Speaker 1: use them. Yeah, good times. Let me know how you
36:28
Speaker 1: go with that, and jump dm me or jump on
36:31

36:34
Speaker 1: to use this for. Are you going to start something
36:36
Speaker 1: brand new? Are you going to what are you gonna
36:38
Speaker 1: use it for? What are you gonna do? Are you
36:40
Speaker 1: gonna use this on something that you're already learning or
36:43
Speaker 1: already working on. Share it with the group and let's
36:46
Speaker 1: start a little conversation around this, guys. Thank you so much,
36:48
Speaker 1: Love you guys so much. As always, remember, be kind
