62. The Reflective Episode — Near Death Car Accidents, $18,000 Scam, Building Neural Pathways to Overcome Challenges, and More

"That's why the ability to reframe your perspective matters so much. I think reality = perception + perspective because your perception is shaped by your experiences, but your perspective is what you take away from your perception  and how you apply that. People always say 'information is power', or 'knowledge is power', but I think 'appliance is power'. When you have too much information, too much going on, you're going to get distracted and that's when paralysis by analysis, or decision-making fatigue, happens. So it's all about what you can apply from that experience." - Benoit Kim 

Welcome back to another episode of Discover More.

Co-hosts Aidan & Benoit sit down together to reflect on the last 10 months of life.

In the first “Reflective Episode,” Benoit shares the story of his recent near-death car accident, while Aidan unpacks the story of getting scammed out of $18,000.

We discuss the mindsets we used to navigate these challenges, as well as the lessons they taught us about life.

We also dive into a wide range of topics including the relationship between subjective & practical truth, the importance of building positive neural pathways, the benefits of asking for help, and the necessity of open-mindedness in today’s culture.

We’d really appreciate it if you could leave us a rating and review on Apple Podcasts, as it really helps the podcast grow, and share this episode with 3 people that you think could benefit from this episode. 

We hope you enjoy this special episode of Discover More with us.
