In this conversation, Spencer Cox shares his journey of curiosity and learning, starting from his childhood and the influence of his engineer father. He discusses the importance of nurturing curiosity in children and how it can shape their mindset as adults.

Spencer also reflects on the balance between learning and doing, and the realization that the more one learns, the more they realize how much they don't know. He shares his experience of embarking on a motorcycle trip from Vancouver to Argentina and how it led him to transition into coaching.

Spencer explains his approach to helping coaches build efficient and successful businesses, focusing on specific offers and strategic thinking. We discuss the pros and cons of being a generalist versus a specialist in coaching and explore the idea that while generalists may not be as skilled in solving specific problems as specialists, they can still provide value by offering more affordable services.

Takeaways

• Nurturing curiosity in children can lead to a lifelong learning mindset.
• Balancing learning and doing is essential as adults, but it's important to maintain a beginner's mindset.
• Meta skills, such as learning how to learn and problem-solving, are foundational for continuous growth.
• Taking risks and embarking on new experiences can lead to unexpected opportunities and personal growth.
• Building a successful coaching business requires a specific offer, strategic thinking, and efficient systems. Being a generalist in coaching means accepting that there will always be someone who can solve specific problems better than you.
• Framing your work as problem-solving can help you create a more focused and impactful coaching practice.
• Having a process for solving problems allows you to make a broader impact and help more people at scale.
• Generalists play an important role in coaching by offering more affordable services to clients who may not be able to afford specialists.
