ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode, I discuss why expectation isn’t the same as preparation, and how long-held predictions can quietly limit your ability to adapt. I explore the hidden costs of committing too strongly to a specific outcome, the neuroscience behind prediction failure, and what simple organisms can teach us about navigating uncertainty. The key shift: stop asking “did this work?” and start asking “what did this teach me?”

Most people try to become useful by learning skills the world has already decided are valuable.But there may be another path: become exceptionally good at something you’re naturally drawn to, even if it seems “useless,” and let the useful application emerge later.In this episode, I explore why unus…
