What We Learned
Starts and finishes are moments, but the messy middle is where the battle is fought and won.
How to endure the lows and optimize the heights
The unique challenges the leader faces in the middle
How Scott is able to accomplish so much
You learn through experiential education, the advice of others, synthesizing information.
You can't make great decisions unless you've made bad decisions.
There is a difference between being busy and being utilized.
The benefit and cost of process.
There is a difference between hiring great talent and grafting talent.
Creativity is literacy.
Great opportunities never have "great opportunity" in the subject line.
Great experiences come from my genuine interests, my skills, and opportunity.
Scott's action list
Experiential education is the only form of education that transforms our lives.
