Why We Suck At Listening

from The Motivated Mind · host Scott Lynch

We all think we’re good listeners. We nod, we smile, we say “yeah, totally.” But most of the time, we’re not actually listening; we’re just waiting for our turn to talk. In this video, I explore why most of us are worse at listening than we realize, how modern life trains us to tune out, and what it actually takes to hear someone. New here? I’m Scott 👋 I walked away from $1.7M in equity to chase my entrepreneurial dreams. Bold or stupid? Still TBD. Now I make videos about mastering your mindset, building better habits, and actually enjoying the process. No fluff, no guru nonsense, just philosophy, psychology, and a few jokes about dodging existential dread. Please subscribe so my wife doesn’t make me go back to a “real” job.
