Reframing success and failure How to learn and do new things, overcoming familiarities and fears • Feasibility ↔ Failure • Flawlessness ↔ Feedback • Focus, Fixed state ↔ Flexibility Process and progress vs. perfectionism Looking forward, have faith that • It will work out when we put a good effort forward, even if it doesn't look feasible at first • People are there to support you, with good feedback to discover flaws together • You will learn new things and how to adapt, growing your flexibility

Application Questions • What can you automate? • How can you be more intentional? • What are small decisions, systems, you can setup that will save time in the long-run?

Reflections on the first two weeks of recording and publishing this podcast

Seek context

ADEPT: a framework for learning and teaching new ideas  • Analogy: connect to something familiar  • Diagram: visualize  • Example: how can you see the idea in action?  • Plain-English description: your turn to describe  • Technical definition: the finer details  Tweet thread

• Knowledge • Clarity • Patience • Presence

My initial thoughts on Clubhouse. Good reads… • Podz & The Future of Audio https://www.notboring.co/p/podz-and-the-future-of-audio • Clubhouse's Inevitability https://stratechery.com/2021/clubhouses-inevitability/ • You don't need video. Audio calls may be enough https://blog.capiche.fm/why-audio-calls-are-better-than-video/ • Recordings of recent "big" rooms https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwLN36NU5yiyX4ijQNE4MGQ/videos

Considerations as this show begins recording episodes: • detailed planning vs going with the flow • long and in-depth vs short and bite-sized • solo vs conversations • improving with iterations
