His superpower involves consistently transferring knowledge to people.When he learns something, he wants to turn around and teach it. Now, this doesn't mean he's the only expert on the topic because, obviously, someone had to teach him. The duality is always involved in the process.Cascade’s Driving Force: To Tell The TruthTo tell the truth is Cascade's driving force. Their mission is to figure out the market truth and tell it to as many people as possible.Sean says this phrase to his clients all the time, "We're happy to tell the truth to as many people as you'll ask".They learn truths about the market and tell it to as many people as possible, meaning people inside the account under a nondisclosure. The end goal, is to make sure many people inside that company know what they have learned.Other Topics We Covered on the Show:We also talked about Sean’s origin story.

He tries to conquer this flaw by putting it in God’s hands.We get to know if Sean’s fatal flaw, which is having the need to be responsible for everything, has impacted his ability to delegate.Clients who think they know it all have been the arch nemesis at Cascade Insights.Lastly, Sean’s guiding principle is to think a lot about what to say and to who you are saying it.Recommended Tools:Kindle LibraryBear AppSuperhumanObsidian.mdRecommended Media:Sean mentioned the following books on the show.Stall Points by Bever van Derek
