A major cheat code in life: Choosing curiosity over defensiveness. You don’t get smarter by protecting your ego. You get smarter by asking better questions. “What can I learn here?” will always take you further than “How do I prove I’m right?” https://x.com/blakeaburge/status/1986055648807616700

A rule that will accelerate your career: If you bring a problem, bring context. If you bring context, bring options. If you bring options, bring a recommendation. People trust people who help them think. Anyone can spot an issue, few can actually help move things forward. https://x.com/blakeaburge/status/2034254428329373849
