If you'd like to ask questions, dig beneath the surface. And want to hear conversations with fascinating people? You found your home. Who are some of the people that you admire and look up to and that inspire you? Well, why do you think I'm on the podcast with you, Nick? We're all basically perhaps just one consciousness looking at itself through different avatars. It's easier to act your way into a new way of thinking than think your way into a new way of acting. Absolutely. I mean, sometimes you've just got to not think, right? You've just got to not think and do. Micah, am I holding this water correctly?

Is this good etiquette? LAUGHTER Trying to understand what a true expert is is sort of counterintuitive because true experts usually aren't that sure of themselves. They usually use words like maybe and it depends. And sometimes they even say, I don't know. Each one of us has the chance to do nothing, or to show up and make a difference. I'm Nick. Join me on the next day on the show for long-term conversations that will challenge existing beliefs and help you to learn and grow. Ask questions. Don't accept the status quo and be curious.
