Episode notes
Knowing Versus Understanding
- Knowing is horizontal (accumulating facts) while understanding is vertical (upgrading your cognitive OS).
- You can know a lot and still be stuck if you never upgrade how you process and integrate knowledge.

- A creative can fail financially because they never learned the business or psychological sides of value creation.

- Learn by building projects, failing, getting feedback, and repeating in the real world rather than just memorizing facts.
