How the hell am I still a beginner?

"I was only 44 years old at the time, so I still had a lot to learn."

That statement is attributed to Bob Iger, the former CEO of Disney (and apparently the CEO again).

"That’s another thing you learn in your 60s..."

That's from Bob's interview with Tim Ferriss. The entire Tim Ferriss interview is amazing and worth a listen. It starts with the Pixar deal when Iger called up Jobs with a "crazy idea" and ended up in a boardroom alone with Steve and a markerboard where Steve torn the idea to absolute shreads. Spoiler alert: Iger still got the deal done. Like a boss.

I don't know very much about him, and there's certainly some criticism against against him, but he's pulled off some wildly impressive things at the helm of Disney. Pixar acquisition. Marvel acquisition. Starwars acquisition. In a world of so many botched M&A deals, he hit 3 grand slam home runs.

Here I am, 37.58 years old, thinking that I'm starting to figure some things out. And Iger is over there with a beginner's mindset in his 60s -- AS THE CEO OF DISNEY.

I very much believe a key element to the path to mastery the beginner's mindset.

I've been practicing yoga multiple times a week for 3 years, and I realize every day how much I have to learn. I've been building tech products for almost a decade, and it's humbling how much I don't know. Hell, today I struggled with properly opening up a milk carton. A few years ago, I realized I was tying my shoes incorrectly.

I appreciate the inspiration from Bob. I can't wait to see how much I'll still have to learn a decade from now.
