33 - Teaching Is Not Cutting Down Forests But Irrigating Deserts.
Welcome to Crux Beta Topout: a show where every week, Phill and I talk about our biggest challenges and mistakes, the lessons we’re learning from them, and then we bet on being better.
This week, Phill and I talk about scheduling deep work, how we struggle with advice, and why “and” is one of the more useful conjunctions.
QUOTES:
“The task of the modern educator is not to cut down jungles, but to irrigate deserts.” - C.S. Lewis
“‘Loss,’ Rosanne Cash wrote, ‘is the great unifier, the terrible club to which we all eventually belong.’ The truth is, we are already in that club. We were inducted at birth.

We should let that connect us, we should allow that to bring us together.” - The Daily Stoic
