So grateful I stumbled upon this podcast
The latest conversation with Jim Collins was my Gateway drug to this podcast. But now that I’m going back and listening through so many of Ryan’s podcasts, I’m so grateful that I’ve gotten the opportunity to listen to this. Each episode gives me insight, but even beyond that introduces me to people that I would’ve never come into contact with without this show.

Meh
Fluffy and recycled. The weakest on this circuit, a poor circuit to begin with. Nearly all podcasts are garbage, so Ryan at least isn’t extraordinary in this regard.

After listening to Ryan as a guest on another Podcast I follow, I was quick to find his in the show notes and subscribe ASAP! I am obsessive about things I can relate to and this is NO EXCEPTION!!! Binging on this is the UNDERSTATEMENT OF THE YEAR!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

710: Ravi Gupta - The Anti-Dabbler's Guide to Mastering One New Skill Every Year, Why Presence Isn't Enough, Bourdain's Masterclass in Humility, and Pairing Reasonable Goals With Delusional Ones

Q: What's the overall process to pick your thing for the year?

Gupta keeps a list and reflects on possibilities through the year, then uses the period from Thanksgiving through December to study the skills, sequence, and experts involved. He avoids serious research before December so planning does not become procrastination on the current pursuit.

710: Ravi Gupta - The Anti-Dabbler's Guide to Mastering One New Skill Every Year, Why Presence Isn't Enough, Bourdain's Masterclass in Humility, and Pairing Reasonable Goals With Delusional Ones

Q: How do you help someone learn to think?

Gupta recommends teaching transferable reasoning tools, including how to assess evidence, identify fallacies, and examine a problem's effects, instead of prescribing a single answer.

711: Seth Godin - Creating Tension, Solving Problems, the Savannah Bananas, Leading Without Authority, Using AI, Hidden Entanglements, and Getting Unstuck (The Knot)

Q: What are some of the things that you're teaching leaders to do to help people embrace change as an opportunity?

Godin distinguishes productive tension from harmful stress. Leaders can create conditions in which people see a worthwhile gap between where they are and where they could be, then feel motivated to learn and move forward without a guarantee of success.

711: Seth Godin - Creating Tension, Solving Problems, the Savannah Bananas, Leading Without Authority, Using AI, Hidden Entanglements, and Getting Unstuck (The Knot)

Q: Why do you choose to remain stuck?

Godin says being stuck can feel safe because it provides an excuse, removes responsibility, and lets people avoid acknowledging their agency. He contrasts that comfort with problems people could help solve, including the sharply higher tuberculosis rates in Inuit communities.

709: Vanessa Van Edwards - How to Connect with Anyone, Master Small Talk, and Ask the 9 Power Questions That Deepen Every Relationship

Q: What is level three in conversation?

Level three is about the self-narrative—the story someone tells themselves about who they are, which helps predict behavior and guide deeper connections.
