Most adults quietly avoid being beginners. We stick to what we’re good at, hide what we don’t know, and forget what it feels like to learn something from scratch. In this episode, we explore why that happens and how it silently shrinks our lives. You’ll hear how Benjamin Franklin embraced being new well into adulthood and why doing the same can reopen parts of your life you didn’t realize you’d set aside. A grounded reminder to let go of the pressure to already be great and rediscover the courage to learn again.
