EP0101 - Why Smart People Stop Growing

One of the quiet dangers of getting good at something is that it can make you harder to teach. In this episode of The Better Path Podcast, Steve explores why growth often slows not because of lack of talent, but because pride makes people defensive, rigid, or too invested in looking capable. This is a grounded, practical conversation about feedback, maturity, ego, confidence, and what it really means to keep learning after you already know a lot. If you want to keep growing in work, relationships, and life without getting stuck in defensiveness or image management, this episode will help.
