I can guarantee you I'm going to have that because of the pressure I have to perform.

I just will.

Like, I don't know right now, but I know that I'm going to figure it out tomorrow.

So I feel like the learning there, I mean, most people don't have a job like this.

Most people don't have a job like Kyla does.

But I still think there's something you can take with you.

And that is if you want to connect the dots and be smarter about what is happening in the world, you should just make yourself speak more.

Like, you should say more things at work.

When you're in a meeting, you should just force yourself to say something, have an opinion.

You should have that pressure on yourself, maybe at a cocktail party.

Like, okay, I usually don't have a thought, but I'm going to just take the risk and say it right now.

You should do it online.

You should post on LinkedIn.

You should start a newsletter.

I feel like the more you hold yourself accountable...

to producing thoughts and ideas, which is really uncomfortable to do.

But the more you force yourself to do it, I think it really helps you connect the dots and also develop your own perspective.

That might be kind of like an aggressive way to get it home.

But I do feel like that's been a real benefit for me of doing this podcast and doing this stuff.

It's like, I don't have a choice.
