Remember when learning something new felt exciting instead of exhausting? As entrepreneurs and business leaders, the responsibilities stack up, calendars fill, and suddenly the spark for growth and curiosity starts to fade. In this episode of Mike and Blaine, we explore why learning gets harder with age, how mental fatigue sets in, and why many business owners fall into the trap of believing they already “know enough.”
Mike and Blaine break down the psychological and practical reasons why staying sharp becomes more difficult over time, from the weight of constant decision-making to the distractions of running a business. More importantly, they reveal strategies for reigniting that spark—rewiring how you learn, staying open to new ideas, and rediscovering the excitement that comes with mastering something fresh.
We’ll also explore how mindset shifts, mentorship, and intentional breaks from the grind can create space for real growth. Whether you’re stuck in your comfort zone, overwhelmed by shiny new tactics, or simply tired of running in circles, this episode is your reminder that continuous learning isn’t just about professional development—it’s about staying energized as a leader and entrepreneur.
Whether you’re a seasoned founder or just starting your journey, this conversation will inspire you to rethink how you approach learning and give yourself permission to grow again—for the first time.
