A beekeeper explains how 20% of bees ignore the hive's pollen call to explore elsewhere, preventing resource depletion and finding new sources. He's adopting that explorer mindset this summer, testing risky ideas in his Cash Creators program to find what works, then sharing the wins so his audience doesn't waste time on failures.
Bees have this call, the bee police, I guess. They're like, hey, there's pollen over there. You should go get it. So when that command goes to the entire hive, the entire hive goes to get it. But 20% of those bees actually ignore that call. You know, bees have been around for, I don't know, millions of years. Why do they not like follow the rules? But it's actually optimal for them because if 100% of the bees went to the place where there's pollen, then at some point they would over-depollinize it and they wouldn't get any more pollen. So that 20% that goes and explores is actually optimal because it allows you to find new places and get lucky. I'm usually the 80% I'm the 80% of the bees that like just do this thing and like don't change anything. Just stick to what works. This summer I'm the 20% of the bees that ignores the call and I'm just testing new shit. But by making that shift, it made me more comfortable with fucking it up and experimenting new stuff. So that's why you're going to see me trying a lot of different stuff from the ones I recommend usually inside Cash Creators. But it's because right now I'm just getting hit in the face a lot and I'm experimenting new things so that in the end I'll tell you how to like not get hit in the face and the ones that actually work.
