#396 Colin Savage: Why Skill Stacking Is the New Lifelong Learning — Part Two

So now we're sitting around in Canada and we're thinking, so what's the next step? And my first step now is to go and talk to my two teenage sons and my wife and say, Hey guys, what do you think about this? And the reality is, whatever our age is and wherever our life has taken us, They'll come up with questions and problems and scenarios or that's a challenge, that's difficult.

I should really study that. And then I go on, I start to spend 10 minutes looking for universities where I could go on.

And it was ingrained in us very young in two ways. And the first one was we always had a room in our house that was more our study than den. It was a room where there was a lot of books. lot of things on the wall, inspirational quotes, all that kind. And my parents often argued about who got to use the big desk and do their writing and do their research and whatever else.

And on one of the walls were all of their degrees. So that's it from a very early age, I'd look up at a wall and I'd see lots of people with paper and very nice brain. Oh, what are those? Well, that's my degree in education. So that was the first. And then the second one was, and this came more from from a grandparent who actually didn't have a lot of education.

He would relay to us as a little kid all the time. You know what? Like somebody can, they can take away your house. They can take away your possessions. They can take away your money. They can take away your family. They can take your health. They can do all that kind of stuff. The only thing that they cannot take away from you is your education. And so I still believe that.

I still believe that's very true. And so anyway, from a long, from my early age with those kind of two things, It was education is important, right? And you should constantly be learning, right? And I didn't know at the time that you have to constantly be learning. Now it's related to keeping technology and technological advances and things like generative AI that I'm now studying.

It was more like you just should keep learning all the time. My parents were very flexible and it didn't really matter what. But it was important that it was with somebody who knows it, so there was an expert. And at the end, there was going to be some kind of written comment. There was going to be a degree, a diploma, letters behind your name, whatever it is. So that's lifelong learning.

For me, there's continually learning from established institutions, programs, gathering up the diploma and other things. And really, the area doesn't matter. Lifelong learning, learn whatever. But lifelong learning is, I think it's an outdated concept and particularly because it just lacks focus. I may be an example of that.
