A short YouTube video by Steve D Valentine in which he advises entrepreneurs to surround themselves with knowledgeable people and to frequently ask questions. He shares a personal anecdote about learning this lesson after splitting a business with his grandfather and emphasizes that seeking others' wisdom reveals blind spots and can save pain if learned early (e.g., by age 21).

Chapters

My whole life, from the time Grandpa and I split our business, I learned that I was going to surround myself with really smart fucking people, that I could ask a lot of questions, whether it's my finances, whether it's my business, whether it's whatever. So all these relationships I have, Christian, I ask questions all the time. I hate doing things by myself because I want somebody to help me see my blind spots. And when you do things on your own, you have blind spots. You can't see behind you. You can't see 100 miles in front of you. But by asking other people, you're going seek that wisdom that helps you get you back on course. And it is a life lesson that if you will learn at 21, you will save yourself a lot of pain.
