============================
In this episode, we dive deep into how our memories can sometimes be our own worst enemies, especially when it comes to personal growth and development.
I recount a recent humbling experience playing the game "Memory" with my nephew which sparked a profound realization about the limitations of my own memory, particularly how it's crammed with so much information that it often hinders more than it helps.
This reflection led me to explore broader implications in terms of career advancement and personal development. I discuss the concept of the "I know" mindset, which can prevent us from taking action because we convince ourselves that we already know enough.
I share insights on how embracing community, coaching, and open-mindedness-rather than relying solely on what we know-can significantly propel us forward.
So press play and let’s chat about breaking free from the barriers of our memory!
