06. THE SUPERPOWER OF HUMILITY.

from PHILOSOPHER KINGS. · host Mark Shaffer, PhD in Ancient Near Eastern and Classical Literature.

In this episode, Mark explores why admitting that you are "new at this" and embodying humility is a superpower for young professionals and early careers. Socrates explained to the men of Athens that what made him so wise was that he was aware of his ignorance. He famously said that "he was the wisest because he knew that he knew nothing." There is a release valve that can lower the pressure of being new in your professional life, simply by owning that you are young, embracing the help of mentors, and thanking others for wisdom. If you are just out of college or training, in your first five years of your career--We made this episode to encourage you and equip you for growth and success.
