Last night I hung out with three of my closest friends. We parked ourselves in the corner of a popular bar downtown.
I marveled at how each of them were so well versed in a broad range of topics. My friend Dan could talk about his work in orthopedics, sharing his knowledge of common sports injuries, surgeries, and so on.
Sean, could talk for days about local politics, and of course the Golden State Warriors.
And finally, Billy could share valuable insights on literature, cars, and writing.
I spent a great deal of my past surrounding myself with passionate storytellers, but I fear it's often all we talked about.
As I get older, I appreciate more and more the importance of knowing a little about a lot. The world becomes a much more compelling place and feeds your soul in unexpected ways when you push yourself to see, learn, and do more.
Whatever you do, surround yourself with like-minded people from all walks of life. Diversify your brain trust.
