This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.twopct.comWe live in a world where its easier than ever to get information (think Google and ChatGPT).That’s great overall—but easy information is often inaccurate, lacks context, and is easily forgettable. If you want to learn and understand something deeply, there’s a better framework. Michael uses it in his work and breaks it down here. You’ll learn:* Just how much information we now consume (the numbers are … wow).* The upsides and downsides of having so much access to information.* A framework that’s helped Michael get better information and make better decisions.Note that I’m on the trail for a couple months and this episode was generated in advance with AI.
