57. Useful Before True: Explanations That Don't Suck

Second Plan A

About this episode

On this episode we dive deeper in to taking ownership of solutions and making choices that give you options. We use the idea from Derek Sivers of "Useful, Not True" to help guide problem solving on the mat and in life.


Topics:

The concept of 'useful not true'

How assumptions like 'I'm too short' or 'I'm not flexible enough' hinder progress

The importance of trying before blaming physical or mental limitations

The impact of framing problems positively and owning challenges

Strategies for shifting mindset and experimenting with solutions

The influence of expectations and how to manage them effectively

The value of feedback, coaching, and experimentation in growth
