Today, Amy Walls of Thimbleberry Financial and cohost Jag are joined by Brent Miller, a Principal Engineer and Team Architect at New Relic.
Brent specializes in personal growth, a topic we often discuss on this show. Personal growth is important in all areas of life, but also when it comes to your finances.
Brent goes on to explain the challenges of personal growth, beginning with taking your own worldview and biases, and "throwing them out the window." This can be even more challenging in the world of multi-person video conferences and social media.
Learning is not child's play. We cannot learn without pain. - Aristotle.
It's important to create a safe space for people to feel comfortable to learn, and this is best done in person.
Amy and Brent discuss the book "The Culture Code" by French psychologist Clotaire Rapaille - and how our experiences shape our worldviews. The older we get, the more challenging it can be to change them. This applies to everything from personal finance to politics.
Finally, Brent explains the concepts of agile working and retrospective, and how they go together in the workplace, especially in the tech sector.
