GUEST SUMMARY
Sharing insights with us this week in the lab is the passionate learner and devoted student of mastery, Nick Velasquez. He's the founder of the popular blog UnlimitedMastery.com with some of his writing featured in TIME, Forbes, Entrepreneur, and Thrive Global around the topic.
Learning has been Nick's life-long passion and gives purpose to his life. While Nick constantly tackled new hobbies, he felt frustration in the learning curve and so devoted himself to the mastery of learning, how we learn as functional human beings. Eventually, he wanted to create a manual of his life, condensing all the information into something that he could use in the future and help anyone else in a similar position.
At a time when everyone had time to reflect on new passions, interests and skills, Nick, launched his book --- Learn, Improve, Master: How to Develop Any Skill and Excel at it in the middle of the pandemic.
In this episode, Nick will walk us through his life's never-ending process of learning. From defining your goal, knowing the things you want to do, exemplifying sacrifices, being balanced with the natural conditions of life to having the confidence in winning the everyday battle of life. If you'd like to be the master of your life, you want to tune in from the beginning to begin mastering your new upcoming and ongoing experiments in your lab.

NOTABLE QUOTES (KEY LESSONS):
6:37 - 6:48 - Learning is getting to a point of competence because mastery is really not a destination, you never reach mastery. You are trying to go as far as you can until you drop dead and that's the mastery. It's just a path but not a destination.
6:49 - 6:55 - "No master would call himself a master. Everyone, even the greatest one know that there's more to do, more to learn, and more to improve"
