In this episode we explore how early success and confidence can quietly replace curiosity, creating an "expert beginner" or local maximum where growth stalls. From our natural knacks that get in the way to COVID-era reinvention, we breakdown how comfort and routine can become a hidden plateau.

Hear practical ways to break out: model people ahead of you, deliberately return to beginner mode, and redefine success so you keep experimenting and embracing discomfort instead of settling.
