This is a YouTube video titled "Who do you take advice from" created on July 28, 2025. The content features a single speaker discussing the importance of critically evaluating the source of advice, emphasizing that most advice is influenced by the advisor's own experiences and biases rather than the listener's unique context and goals.
Only take advice from people who have done what you want to do. Most people aren't giving you advice based on what's best for you. They're giving you advice based on what they would do in your shoes. But here's the issue. They're not in your shoes. They're in their shoes with their experience and their fears and their baggage. And that's not helpful. The real key here is that people don't give advice for your benefit. What they're saying is not rooted in your context, in your goals, in your constraints. It's them projecting their worldview onto your situation. So it's very important to be very critical about who you are taking advice from. So who do you take advice from then?
