You know, you talk about external learning.

Who's holding many conferences on their own nickel?

and bringing in external guests to help educate them so that they could rise and thrive together.

There's another story that's perhaps more modern for the younger crowd.

Mr. Beast did this when he was 17.

He found three other people that were trying to hack YouTube.

They were basically trying to figure out the game of YouTube, and they were on a Skype call for 16 hours a day together.

And he says if there were a fifth person in that room, they would have made a million dollars also.

Like, it was just because the stuff they were uncovering was so usable and just deterministic, just no one else knew it.

And he used a phrase I love.

He said, you know how they talk about 10,000 hours, referring to the Malcolm Gladwell book?

He says, we got 40,000 hours because we were sharing it all.

That's not the exact math, but it's a cool reflection of the moment, you know?

I think you do both.

They serve very different purposes.

The co-learning journey

I mean, peers give you co-learning.

They give you support, which I talked about.

They give you reflections.
