When he enters a project slowly and deliberately, he avoids the four-trip day. Measure twice, cut once. Think it through. Think about the long game. (Here’s the Daniel Labelle video Eddie references.) Then Tyler shares: His early discoveries had to do with complaining. Pretty simply, he came around the understanding that he had to complain less. Now you share: We would love to hear about lessons you learned either in your first year or within the last year (even if it wasn’t your last-last year.
