Description

Have you ever taken a pause and really thought about the significance of being willing to “suck” at something?
We creatives often find ourselves cocooned in this small world of what we're already good at.
We spend our time in areas that come naturally to us. The zone where our creative juices flow and your hands complete the task with ease.
It's our safe space, and damn, doesn't it feel good to be there?
But... here's the twist – this very zone, this "comfort bubble" is also our biggest limitation.
The moment a challenge pops up or a task gets too tricky, we recoil. We can't bear the thought that we're not good at something.
We've all been there, right? The first signs of a struggle or roadblock and our instincts go, "Abort! Abort!"
It’s as if the territory outside of our comfort zone is a minefield we should avoid at all costs.
And that's the crux of this week's podcast episode...
"Dare To Suck".
Those words have been on my mind for the past 5 years because of a past podcast guest.
We often forget that every G.O.A.T., every expert we admire, first sucked before they succeeded.
By giving ourselves the freedom to be imperfect, to suck at something, we open up a world of possibilities.
In this episode you’ll discover:

Why perseverance is important in business

Everyone sucked when they first started learning

How age affects fear of judgment

The problem with an instant-gratification world

Relating your experience to levels in a video game

The four levels of incompetence

Why people give up before they get good

Learning the skills you need to learn, while you still suck
