“[Information] is a great way of expanding your horizons of what’s possible…but it’s not very good for developing competence.” –Danny Iny

 

 

Today, Danny joins me to talk about the different ways to learn. He discusses his love-hate relationship with formal education and talks about the different powers and limitations of information.

He notes that formal education is a misfit for more people than we generally suppose, and he shares his definition of learning. He lists the three steps of a learning journey and talks about the pros and cons of online learning.

He explains why not to disregard online learning as ineffective right away, he talks about the hybrid approaches to learning, and he offers his insight on succeeding (and not just trying) outside of your comfort zone.
