Over the weekend I went hunting for truffles. It was a bit of a guided tour where we were introduced to the background of the truffle farm and their philosophies, then we went out with a couple of dogs to go and sniff out some truffles that we'd use to cook up a delicious lunch.

While we were wandering around, I picked up on a few cool ideas or lessons that I thought could apply not just to truffle hunting, but to life more broadly. Using truffle hunting as a metaphor, here were 5 thoughts:

1. Don't be afraid to look stupid
2. Lying means you lose opportunities to learn
3. Trust The Dog
4. Cut out the rot before it spreads
5. Some truffles aren't worth harvesting
