Special: 19 Lessons From 400 Episodes - #400

**Chris Williamson** (0:02)
Hello everybody, welcome back to the show. My guest today is me. To celebrate 400 episodes of modern Wisdom, I wanted to do something special and decided on breaking down some of my favorite lessons, insights and quotes from the last three and a half years running the show. Today, expect to learn why perfectionism is procrastination masquerading as quality control. Seth Godin's best advice for beating imposter syndrome. The biggest lessons I took from Jordan Peterson, how Ryan Long can predict the future of the Internet. Why framing is everything. Morgan Housel's best investment advice. Why I'm adamant that Jonny Wilkinson has taken loads of ayahuasca. How to keep promises to yourself and much more. I have to say it's really meaningful to hit 400 episodes while I'm out here in Texas, which is pretty much the podcasting center of the universe. And I'm getting to meet tons of people. I'm having conversations with guys and girls that listen to the show out here. And all of this growth has been because of you supporting the show. So if you have listened or tuned in or shared it with friends or supported me in whatever way you can over the last few years, a big thank you very, very much. It's incredibly meaningful to me. I adore doing this and it feels like we're just getting started. It definitely feels like there's an awful lot of headroom for modern Wisdom still to take up. And yeah, roll on episode 500 I will be posting a list of all of these lessons on the modern Wisdom Locals community. So if you want to go and check that out, head to modernwisdom.locals.com.
