In this episode of Behavior Gap Radio, Carl revisits the critical difference between kind and wicked learning environments—and why experience can either make you wiser or dangerously overconfident. When feedback is clear, fast, and reliable, learning compounds, but when feedback is delayed, noisy, or misleading, experience can quietly teach the wrong lessons. Carl explains why real planning can’t assume experience equals insight, and why better questions—about feedback, time horizons, and the role of luck—matter more than confident conclusions.
