#60: The Case for Going All In | Ravi Gupta
Notas do episódio
Almost everyone carries a list of things they want to do in life, and almost nobody gets to it. Michael speaks with Ravi Gupta, author of The Invisible List, who went all in on one passion a year: powerlifting, screenwriting, surfing, tennis, the MCAT, and Italian cooking. He explains the four steps to develop your "invisible list," how to find the time to tackle it, why your passions make you a better human, why passions protect your health and brain, and why sucking at something has benefits. They cover:
