We’re diving deep into the false distinction between knowledge and labor in the workplace. 
I've got some personal stories to share from my experiences as a firefighter and handyman, shedding light on how knowledge plays a crucial role in seemingly physical jobs.
Let's kick things off by challenging the conventional idea of a 'knowledge worker.' 
It's time to break down the barriers that devalue trade and labor. I want to hear from you, about your thoughts on this. 
What You’ll Learn:
- Exploring the concept of 'knowledge workers' and its impact on the devaluation of trades and labor.
- Proposing alternative names for knowledge workers and seeking suggestions from listeners.
- Introducing a three-component framework for learning new skills: self study, structured study, and supported study.
- Highlighting the significance of continuous learning and applying the learning framework to personal and professional development.
Join us as we delve into different approaches to learning like self-study and structured study. 
The importance of curating learning materials and committing fully to one skill at a time will be emphasized. 
Stay tuned for valuable insights on personal and professional growth. Make sure to subscribe and leave your feedback. See you soon!
