Boring Before Brilliance

from The Optimistic Outlook with John Eades · host John Eades

Everyone sees Paul Skenes on the mound throwing 100+ mph. Nobody sees the 2.5-hour warm-up he does every single day, eight months a year. "If you love the result, you must fall in love with what's boring." This episode is about why brilliance isn't a talent story. It's a boring, repetitive, unglamorous work story. And why most people want the noun without doing the verb. 📖 Grab the book: Optimistic Outlook on Amazon
