In this episode, I talk about how important it is to spend time with people who already know what you know, because that's the only way you'll learn anything new. I think most people would be better off hanging out with someone who already knows what they know, like Steve Jobs. If you don't know who Steve Jobs is, then you need to listen to this episode.

00:00:00.000 I like to go to the opposite.
00:00:01.420 Let's say you think of the most evil person
00:00:03.260 that was ever born in the history of life.
00:00:04.840 I would wanna spend time with that person.
00:00:06.860 I already know what I know over here.
00:00:08.400 So if I hang out with people
00:00:09.480 that already know what I know over here,
00:00:11.320 then I'm not learning anything new.
00:00:12.780 Most people would wanna talk
00:00:14.080 to somebody aspirational like Steve Jobs.
00:00:15.920 I already read the books.
00:00:16.900 I kinda understand his perspective.
00:00:18.420 Who was a world leader that was a horrible human
00:00:21.160 that created a lot of pain in the world?
00:00:22.680 I haven't seen a lot of content from these people
00:00:24.680 and I would wanna sit down and ask them,
00:00:26.700 what were you thinking?
00:00:28.020 How did you rationalize this?
00:00:29.600 because there's probably some leadership lesson in that
00:00:33.060 that if I could understand
00:00:34.900 would add a dramatic amount of value
00:00:37.320 to my ability to support other people.
