About this episode
Ever tried to skip the boring part of learning something, only to regret it years later?I did. I avoided music theory because it felt too slow and dull. Decades later, I’m still paying for that shortcut. In this episode, we talk about The Plateau Trap - that moment when learning stops being fun, progress slows down and you’re tempted to quit. You’ll hear stories from music, medicine and life about what happens when we jump too fast… and what it really takes to keep going. This is a public episode.
