That's a normal transition. That's a normal transition. Believe it or not, that's a neurobiological transition. That gets back to the work of Raymond Cattell, the British social psychologist in the 60s and 70s. He was really 50s and 60s and 70s, actually. He was the world's greatest researcher in his time on intelligence.

So I wrote a book on this called From Strength to Strength about how people, they go through the course of their careers and they find that their interests change and what they used to be good at, they're not as good at and they're good at something different and it's very disconcerting. So super high performers in their 20s and in particularly the early part of their 30s.

they find that they're less, they burn out. They're less interested in doing something, especially with individual, indefatigable focus. That's because that's called fluid intelligence, according to Cattell. That's working memory, individual work, incredible focus on something, innovation, individual innovation, right? And that's highest as you're going through your 30s, right?

Your results may vary, but they probably won't very much. The second curve of intelligence called crystallized intelligence and comes in behind it. You've heard about this. This is wisdom, right? This is what all the things that you know, that's pattern recognition, teaching ability, mentoring and coaching, sharing ideas. That's what you get better and better and better.

So what you're 38, I mean, you're at the top of your fluid intelligence. 37. 30 years from now, you're going to be in the zone, man. You're going to be much better even than you are now, which is going to make you super potent, but you're going to get way, way more interested in and get much more satisfaction from sharing ideas.
