HollyNARRATOR
The purpose is to explore your own internal space and discover where this kind of conversation might fit into or complement what already works for you.
HollyNARRATOR
Can anger sit beside reason? Can fear sit beside confidence? Can frustration sit beside problem solving? Can disappointment sit beside the memory of the terrific evening you were having before this happened? We are not throwing emotions out.
HollyNARRATOR
We are putting them into proportion.
HollyNARRATOR
Your emotions get voices.
Jessica LaneHOST
It's like having laser-like concentration, ready to take on any challenge.
Jessica LaneHOST
Another major benefit? Problem-solving skills get a serious boost.
Jessica LaneHOST
ever hit a mental roadblock, struggling to come up with solutions.
Jessica LaneHOST
Sleep plays a vital role in creative thinking and problem solving.
Adam RodmanGUEST
So then in the 1970s, there was this brilliant psychologist, University of Michigan, named Arthur Elstein, who actually decided to test a lot of these hypotheses.
Adam RodmanGUEST
And his hypothesis was the same as what you described, which is there are certain frameworks, approaches to medical problem solving that make the best doctors different than the less good doctors.
Adam RodmanGUEST
It was called the Medical Inquiry Project, lasted for like three or four years.
Adam RodmanGUEST
And he had all these interviews of novices, of medical students, residents attending, solving really complex cases.
Adam RodmanGUEST
The attendings would only consider, I think, on average three diagnoses.
Adam RodmanGUEST
They would ask less than 10 questions, and yet they were much more diagnostically accurate.
Adam RodmanGUEST
So this was published in 78, Medical Problem Solving, really, really famous book, the field-defining book for modern clinical reasoning.
Adam RodmanGUEST
And I would say actually the consensus now, as of the year 2026, is actually that most of what appears to be good diagnosis is is knowledge it is actually inseparable from all knowledge it is like knowledge activation there are of course schema right we we learn how different diseases are related but that's not from us being taught that it's from seeing a lot of disease learning about disease and making those connections ourselves i don't think anyone seriously disagrees with this but there are like obviously disagreements on the edge And I think that the consensus now is that there is not a single way to teach reasoning.
Jesse FirestoneHOST
And with hard sport climbing, that's very, very important.
Jesse FirestoneHOST
Like hard bouldering is mostly about problem solving and having the power and coordination to do the moves without falling.
Jesse FirestoneHOST
Hard sport climbing, those things are important and it can be very tactical as well and be very movement oriented as well.
Jesse FirestoneHOST
But it's much more likely that what's going to happen on the red point attempts is you're just not going to be able to do the work like it's way more likely that I'm going to fail to be able to do a V3 move from the ground, then that I'm not going to be able to do like the crux move of a 13 D, right? So Increasing that W prime or increasing that critical force probably going to be my number one training priority.
Chip GriffinHOST
It's because she didn't want her milk to spoil.
Chip GriffinHOST
Anyway, we'll do our best to muddle through as we always do, but we are gonna be talking about curiosity and problem solving, because I firmly believe that those are the two qualities that agencies should be hiring for first and foremost, not worrying so much about what experience do they have working with the particular industry that you serve, or even their specific technical capabilities for whatever role they may have, because a lot of those things can be taught.
Chip GriffinHOST
But curiosity and problem solving, in my experience, are things that most people either have or they don't.
Chip GriffinHOST
And they can perfect it.
Chip GriffinHOST
They can improve it.
Gini DietrichHOST
Yeah, it's the things like when you think about the type of people that you want on your team and the things that you can teach versus the things that kind of come innately.
Gini DietrichHOST
And I think you're right.
Gini DietrichHOST
Curiosity and problem solving are the critical thinking skills are the things that you can't really teach.
John HearnGUEST
We change it up.
John HearnGUEST
We complicate it to the point that people are able to run some very in-depth scenarios solve a lot you know actually focus on problem solving with the gun by the end of the days so i'm not discounting force on force i'm saying that first off most of your private citizens aren't going to sign up for it and number two you're not going to get the number of repetitions in almost any environment for it to make that much of a difference
Eric DavisHOST
Well, you know, that is precisely my thoughts on it recently was that, number one, a lot of civilians, I mean, for that matter, if law enforcement and military, if they don't have to go, you know, most people don't want to do force on force.
Eric DavisHOST
Not only is it you've got a pain penalty, but you also you're in front of peers.

Erick GelhausGUEST
Southern California, Piru for two-day shotgun class the first weekend in October.
Erick GelhausGUEST
We've got Cognitive Conclave coming up after that.
Erick GelhausGUEST
Um, first weekend in November, I'll be at Meade hall for some low light work and the first full day version of problem solving pistol, which is a full day version of kind of what I'm running at cognitive conclave.
Erick GelhausGUEST
So if you can't make it out to Georgia and you're anywhere near Meade hall in Oklahoma, there's that.
RobinHOST
I think there's something interesting in the point about scaling, because I think a lot of founders today and perhaps I'm biased in saying younger founders, they're often chasing the latest fashionable theme, whether it's ESG yesterday or AI at the moment.
RobinHOST
Do you think there's a worry that they're just adopting these kind of fashionable buzzwords without actually solving problems or creating something that's a resolution with durability? Could you tell me a little bit about in your experience how we can start to think long term and how to think more about solving a problem because there's a lot that you've been saying about ideas about people so when founders are thinking about their proposition how can they begin to marry the two
Ashok SuppiahGUEST
so i would partition it too so I mean, as founders, we are trying to solve a problem.
Ashok SuppiahGUEST
We found an industry problem, and we are trying to solve it and build a business around it.
11 MINS LATER
Ashok SuppiahGUEST
Then I like to see experience really evolve into a very large social impact business.
Ashok SuppiahGUEST
What do I want to do? Actually, not really, no.
Ashok SuppiahGUEST
I love solving problems.
Ashok SuppiahGUEST
I love talking to people with business problems and opportunities and mentoring them, coaching them, and that's really what I enjoy.
Sonya ShaferHOST
It is the ability to integrate broadly.
Sonya ShaferHOST
Interestingly, problem solving is a skill that consistently ranks near the top in qualities that potential employers are looking for.
Sonya ShaferHOST
Especially in today's evolving workplaces, it makes sense to be able to pull from a wide range of knowledge and experiences.
Sonya ShaferHOST
Just as with all of Charlotte Mason's methods, balance is key.

Tanya Myers ShahGUEST
Always curious.
Tanya Myers ShahGUEST
I think there's like two things I think that can get people really far, which is curiosity and problem solving.
Tanya Myers ShahGUEST
it's that fine balance between like, like always learning, you know, you, you don't know everything yet.
Tanya Myers ShahGUEST
You don't, you might be the CEO of your own company, but you, there's so much you don't know.
