Omar Zenhom argues you learn faster when you're the least impressive person in the room. He surrounded himself with friends in their 50s and 60s in his 20s, learning from their experience and mistakes instead of staying comfortable among peers.
Find rooms, spaces where you are the least impressive person. Your environment is your accelerator. When I was in my 20s, I didn't know anybody that was my age. Everybody I knew was older, was wiser. I had friends that were in their 50s and 60s. Like, friends I would go and have dinner with. Okay. Why? Because I could learn from this person. This person has been around the block. Even if they're not super successful and a role model or where I want to be, I. I can learn from their mistakes.
