  • two of my favorite entrepreneurs at one place, amazing

  • I saw the entire video. Awesome teachings.

  • @hydrolist1 gladwell uses research to substantiate his points. who does this guy cite?

  • @bcd8538 ...The idea of Excellence or Mastery (as referred by George Leonard) deals with the process of continual improvement, not reaching a specific destination, for example, as labelled "expert" in Outliers - where Tim rightly disagrees. The is an obvious disconnect between the two ideas and it's you who has confused the two.

  • @bcd8538 the 10,000 hours rule is rubbish. Tim rightly suggests to look through the 10,000 rule and note it's what you do and how you do it that determines the time taken to reach "expert" level. Expert is inherently relative to your environment/field/industry, "competency" at X in environment A would mean you're "proficient", but in environment B you're an "expert". ...

  • The 10,000 hours, referenced in "Outliers", deals with becoming a "Expert" in a field, Not the time required to become "proficient" or "competent". Clearly there's a disconnect between the idea of competency & excellence ( of mastery ).

  • do you guys think he asks what the interviewee is going to wear before he shows up for his interviews?

    if he tested where his book should go i would assume so...

  • Up to 29mins you have probably heard before, after that some good stuff.

  • HA HA!!

  • A few nuggets of good insight. A lot of really boring crap though
