That’s just incredibly useful.”“To examine what you’ve done, to find the things that work, label them and remember the examples is just incredibly helpful. It’s a manual for doing the thing that you’re spending your time on, doing it better and passing it along to other people.”“My big thing is I wonder how many people are out there who are dying to do interviews who just need a little bit of a push. All they need is to get on one of these platforms, find somebody and just set up the conversation with a real purpose, and guide the person towards answering the questions you’ve been wondering about. My hope for my book "Stop Asking Questions" is to foster more learning through conversations.”“I don’t understand why connecting with people and leading people is not higher level than programming.” Links Mentioned: Kurt’s TwitterKurt’s Instagram Kurt’s LinkedIn Andrew’s LinkedInAndrew’s WebsiteAndrew’s EmailStop Asking Questions Book Link to Damn GravityPrinciples In Action App Principles: Life & Work by Ray Dalio
