Most people collect information, but very few understand what actually makes learning change their lives. In today’s episode, Kevin and Alan explain a simple idea that shapes your confidence, your habits, and how consistent you stay. After thousands of coaching sessions and more than two thousand episodes, they have seen the same pattern again and again. 

This conversation will help you see your own learning in a new way and understand why your progress feels fast at times and slow at others. If you want real growth, not just more information, this episode will help you get there.
