Ignorance is a Benefit

from The Optimistic Outlook with John Eades · host John Eades

What if not knowing how hard something is, is actually your biggest advantage? In this episode, John tells the story of his college teammate Blaine, who dominated the mini-tours by being blissfully unaware of the odds, and how that same principle showed up years later when John helped a coaching client break into an industry neither of them knew anything about. "We didn't know how hard it was to break into that space, so we tried everything." Experience is valuable. But sometimes, the beginner's mind wins.
