Juan, it's interesting that I've mentioned that I'm a product of educational cross-pollination 🔁

It took five schools -- colleges, universities and a trade school -- to accomplish an undergraduate degree.

My doctorate? Lol. I'll dive into that later.

If anything, I'm a serial student. 😁

I Love this in ways I can’t describe with mere words.

“Serial student” sounds a whole lot cooler than “serial entrepreneur”.

Smiling here 😊 how about being a serial learner? Is that cool?

It does has a nice ring to it.

“Student” evokes images of classrooms and teachers.

“Learner” is a less polluted term in my opinion.

My all time favorite client in his mid 50s came to me and said, "God's crazy about me and I'm teachable!"

He was a heart-open learner

Cross-pollination is something I write about and encourage people to try. It's a great idea starter.

Yes. Yes it is.

A lot of unexpected insights can arise from just that.

Yes. It's exciting when suddenly something simple and profound reveals itself by adding a hobby or studying a new discipline.

Agreed. There’s hidden depth in several things we consider “simple”. And then when we start peeling off the layers, we can find some real gems.
