How do you truly become the best in the world at something?
I explored this question with Derek Andersen for his Divot podcast, and the answer goes beyond learning from textbooks. I shared my perspective on the power of practice, the necessity of obsession, and, most importantly, the invaluable lessons gleaned from failure—your own and those around you. Learning isn’t just academic; it’s experiential and social. I believe surrounding yourself with the right people is key to unlocking your full potential.
Then comes the next question: What’s actually worth going deep on?
If yes, go all in. Dig a trench 10 miles deep, not 6 inches deep. Put in the 10,000 hours and do it because you love it.
In summary, follow your gut and put your heart and soul into it. Do your karma and do not worry about the results.
