Ep 107: Practice, Get Good, Experiment, Get Even Better, Be Gracious: Lessons from Brownies
A jaunty and frolicking discussion of brownies and things to learn from them, Zach shares his learnings on becoming the "best brownie baker in the family".
Along the way, we learn that: if you want frosting on your brownies, then go eat cake; if you put too much stuff in the brownies, you might as well just eat a kitchen sink cookie; make sure you give time to the stuff you care about.
In general, the lessons are:
1. Learn how to do something so you can get a success;
2. Experiment with that and be willing to fail;
3. Figure out why your experiment produces failure;
4. Surround yourself with people who are better at the thing that you do so you can get better at that thing and thus bring you Joy.
And always remember that you were a rookie once too.
