Summary

"Talented" is just a label. You can't be good or successful at something by just being talented! I have been plagued by brain fog ever since I am recovering from Covid, and my chess tactics are not as sharp as they used to be. So I have been experimenting, how can still win knowing that I have brain fog. The answer is, do the unexpected. This can also apply to everyday life. Rather than sticking to what you know, and your routine. Break away from it, and experiment with the unexpected! My new book Skip The Line is out! Make sure you get a copy wherever you get your new book! Join You Should Run For President 2.0 Facebook Group, and we discuss why should run for president. I write about all my podcasts! Check out the full post and learn what I learned at jamesaltucher.com/podcast. Thanks so much for listening!
