The conversation about skepticism starting at about minute 26 was the most interesting part of this podcast, to me.

Skepticism as a creative process seems to have pretty serious real-world consequences. For example, what if I began to doubt my ability to do a push-up? Would I eventually lose the strength to do something that is now easy for me?

On the other hand, what if I stopped doubting my ability to lift 200 lbs.? Would I then develop previously untapped strength?

I would love to hear more about this topic in the future, Steve.

BTW, loved the interaction between Steve & Erin. They are a great broadcasting team.
