"That's a whole 'nother chips n' guac" - Kevin Sanji, co-host
Hard work and experience can make you worse at what you do. This sounds absolutely bat-nut insane and it sounds wrong - but it's not. I'll take you back to the 70's, the early 1900's, and back to the present to a modern-day Japanese pushup champion to uncover why we get worse with hard work and experience (and, of course, what to do instead). In this episode, we cover:
- Why Steve Faloon's short-term memory mattered
- The nature of hard work and experience over a long period of time
- How to become an expert at what you do
- The key to expert performance - at anything
