So You Want To Work on Skills You Suck At

from Black Iron Radio · host Black Iron Nutrition & Training

There's a certain grace we give kids while they're learning that we completely stop giving ourselves as adults. Morgan, Brooke, and Jess Gordon get into why being bad at something is worth leaning into, not avoiding. As adults we tend to stay parked in the areas where we're already competent, so choosing to be a beginner at something you might fail at over and over is its own kind of brave. They talk about the ego hit of sucking at something in a season of life where you feel like you shouldn't be a beginner at anything, why "I suck at this" is usually just "I haven't learned this yet," and the programming side of actually getting better instead of spinning your wheels. Plus why you never know how many hours went into the thing that looks effortless on someone else, how to talk to yourself when you're failing a skill on repeat, and the difference between the people who fail with grace and the people who quit. 🎧 Listen on Apple & Spotify Black Iron Nutrition Book a Free Discovery Call Free Macro Calculator Free Downloads Black Iron Blog
