Loved this podcast. Looking forward to more.

Key takeaways:

  • Do you want to get better or be perceived as good?
  • We need a "challenge network." People we trust to give us honest feedback and push us to get better by telling us the stuff we don't want to hear; This is not our support network, who tell us what we want to hear.
  • In order for "radical candor" to be received, at the same time we are challenging the person directly, the person must believe that we care about them personally.
  • Feedback is just information.
  • How quickly can you go from pain to "where's the lesson?" Pain + Reflection = Progress
  • The concept of a "second score" which is for how you handle the feedback. The best way to prove yourself is to show that you are willing to improve yourself.

like a phoenix
