Our podcast is all about celebrating fresh starts, or piloting journeys, and sometimes part of trying something new or starting over is learning to be a beginner again. Whether you’re picking up a new hobby or career, or just trying to stay at the top of your game for something you’ve been doing for years, having a beginner’s mindset is crucial.

We discuss:

- leading with curiosity and an open mind

- getting comfortable trying new things and failing

- the pitfalls of overpreparation

- the Japanese concept of “shoshin”

- tips for maintaining a beginner’s mindset

- balancing confidence and ego when you’re already an “expert”

- finding a “beginner buddy”

- & so much more!
