One of the most important life and business "secrets" is surrounding yourself with smart, successful people.
This has always been true. Think of the old adage: "Tell me who your friends are, and I'll tell you who you are."
Sometimes, this is easier said than done – especially if you live somewhere with few people who share your interests.
The beauty of the internet and platforms like YouTube, Twitter/X, and Nostr is that you can find, listen to, and engage with some of the brightest minds in the fields you care about – literally, the top experts.
Surround yourself, whether in person or online, with the smartest people you can find. Even if it's tough to follow along at first, keep listening. You'll absorb knowledge and eventually catch up.
I had this experience when I first started listening to the MacroVoices podcast back in 2019 or 2020. I thought I understood a lot of financial jargon. Turns out, I was wrong, like really wrong. It took weeks, maybe months, to start grasping much of what was being discussed. I had to pause, look up terms, go back, slow it down, and listen again. Even now, some guests are such elite minds that I still find it challenging to to follow and have to slow down and listen again.
For you, it could be learning to play an instrument, woodworking, parenting, understanding #bitcoin, or even quantum physics. The process is the same: immerse yourself, struggle through the confusion, work your way out of the dip in frustration, and push forward.
Learning from those who have mastered their craft is what makes you better.
Don't settle. Don't be content with being the smartest person in the room. Aim higher. Seek thought-provoking conversations. Actively engage with people who challenge your perspective, you might learn something valuable.
We're lucky to live in an era where this is possible. It’s crazy to think how easy it is to access hours of insights from the world’s brightest minds through interviews, podcasts, or even tweets.
Use your time wisely. While others Netflix and chill, you level up. Over time, it becomes more enjoyable – more exciting even – than just watching a scripted show or the Grammys.
Aim to improve every day. Just 1% better each day. Your future self will thank you.
