When was a time a stranger/friend taught you something?
There are entire worlds of experience inside each person you meet! What’s something they know how to do that you don’t? If you get people talking about their passions and simple ask, ‘could you show me?’ The chances they get to share their excitement and passion is fairly high!
- My Yukon homesteader friend, Alex, was a fishing fanatic. I hadn’t even really been on a boat before but having the humility to say I’m almost 30 and don’t know much about fishing was all it took for an invite! He thought it was crazy not to know, so I got invited on his boat on the Lewelline glacier lake and it was one of my favourite days last summer! In thanks - I thought him how to operate an excavator. It saved him $7000 in hiring a guy to do the work of digging his new cabin foundation. It took me 3 hours to teach him. And he taught me a life skill that I can pass forward to friends now too!
How about you?
