Welcome back to The Real Brian Show! This week we have the pleasure of welcoming Brian C. Roll to the show.

Learn More by Doing

Planning and thinking has its place in every process, but without action there is no product. In the wise words of someone in the past: "Do you want to know who you are? Don’t ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you." Most people attribute this statement to Thomas Jefferson, but there's really no record of it. It would make a lot of sense as to why Jefferson might have said it, though, when taking a serious look at his life. Thomas Jefferson was constantly in the service of the public, from practicing law to helping draft the Declaration of Independence; public service requires a lot of planning and thinking, but without action it's not easy to retain one's position.

So whether you're the creative type or the technical type or the public service type, this interview has a lot to inspire you. We can learn a lot from study and observation, but nothing quite maps true learning like the practical execution of a skill. We learn more by doing.
