Ever wondered how the willingness to learn can transform your life?

Wes shares his reflections on how gratitude and mentorship have played pivotal roles in his personal growth. He emphasises that being receptive to guidance from others can dramatically change one's life trajectory.
Wes recounts how his father’s relentless pursuit of growth through seeking advice and mentorship has inspired him to do the same. This practice has not only shaped who he is today but also reinforced the importance of maintaining a learner's mindset. Austin adds depth to the conversation by discussing how curiosity and a willingness to listen to others can predict someone's success in recovery. He points out that growth often requires stepping out of our comfort zones and embracing discomfort.
The episode also touches on the common pitfall of becoming rigid and set in our ways, which can hinder personal development and relationships. The hosts highlight that true learning comes from engaging with those around us, whether it's a mentor, a peer, or even our own children. They stress that the moment we believe we can't learn from someone is when we start to lose the willingness to be taught.
