I recently started another company.

0:01.7

It's a very difficult project.

0:03.5

In fact, the name of the company is the impossible company.

0:06.3

It's called Impossible Inc.

0:08.2

And what's interesting is that it's driven me into a frenzy of learning

0:12.3

and not necessarily even motivated in a negative way,

0:16.2

but I'm more inspired to learn than I have been in a long time.

0:19.7

So I find myself interrogating Grock and chat

0:22.0

TPT a lot more. I find myself reading more books. I find myself listening to more technical

0:27.7

podcasts. I find myself brainstorming a lot more. I'm just more mentally active. I'm even willing

0:33.1

to meet more companies aside investing because I'm learning from them. And just being active makes me

0:40.0

want to naturally learn more and not in a way that it's unfun or cause me to burn out. So I think

0:47.1

doing leads to the desire to learn and therefore to learning. And of course, there's the learning

0:52.8

from the doing itself. Whereas I think

0:55.0

if you're purely learning for learning's sake, it gets empty after a little while. The motivation isn't the same.

1:01.2

We're biomechanical creatures. My brain works faster when I'm walking around. And you would think

1:05.8

no energy conservation should work slower, but it's not the case. Some of the best brainstorming

1:09.9

is when you're walking and talking, not just sitting and talking, which is why for a while I tried to hack the walking podcast thing, because I really enjoy walking and talking. My brain works better. And so the same way, I think, doing and learning go hand in hand. And so if you want to learn, do.
