In this episode, Tyler and Spencer’s discussion focused on the value of contrarian thinking, and how it can lead to new opportunities. Spencer shared how his 20 years’ experience in punk rock bands, combined with his senior vice president corporate role, allowed him to become a whole person.
Am I confused, or is it okay to have conflicting ideas in our head at the same time and reconcile those to become a whole person? I used to really struggle with that but now I’ve come to believe that it is the latter. We are the sum of our component parts and journeys.
Other topics included relationship-building struggles for real estate investors, the clean slate technique, earning third-party credibility through authenticity, the consequences of hiring too aggressively, the hardships of management, inquiry vs. advocacy and more. Spencer provided uncommon wisdom and unique perspectives in this episode!
