We are facing an epidemic of intellectual laziness. Leaders are handing over their creative output to machines. They are letting their problem-solving muscles atrophy. This is a massive mistake.
Ryan Hawk joins me to break down the real cost of outsourcing your thinking. We dig into why curiosity is the ultimate competitive advantage. We cover the brutal truth about excuses and how they soften your character. We get into why being coachable is the single most intoxicating trait a leader can possess.
If you want to build long-term success, you cannot be closed off to feedback. You need truth tellers in your corner. You need to pay the price of becoming.

What is it that Ryan Hawk does that looks like cheating to me?
Ryan Hawk· Guest0:12
The way that I give and receive love is curiosity. This idea of going to bed a little bit wiser than you were when you woke up. I think it is a daily fistfight to suffocate excuses. Any excuse softens the character.

I mean, there is nothing more intoxicating as a leader than someone who's coachable. [upbeat music] Ryan, dude, I know you're a busy man. I am incredibly excited to have you on the show. I was gonna save this, but you brought it up in the-- we, I asked you the question, you answered in the green room, and it's actually very hot on my brain, so I'm gonna be incredibly selfish at the start of this podcast. Um, you said one of the things that you're curious about is this idea of outsourcing your thinking, outsourcing your, your, your, your intelligence to AI, and, you know, I, I wanna dig into this topic.
