Hello Everyone, The community isn't very populated yet, so I wanted to ship a discussion early on so it isn't completely dead. Today I want to talk about what I'm going to call the Mentorship Fallacy. When we look at successful people, our first instincts tell us that they are skilled in something. More specifically, our instincts make us think that they are good at whatever they did to get themselves there. Following that logic we reasonably assume that they must know the process and understand said process as well, however, as the world often shows us, our instincts deceive us. One of the greatest examples of the Mentorship Fallacy can be found in fitness programs. Consider that the only reason most people actually follow these programs are because of the way the person talking about them looks. " They have a good physique? They must know how to get it. " We think to ourselves, but again, our instincts deceive us. Maybe he used steroids, has a low appetite, or has strong genetic make up. Regardless, the mentorship Fallacy makes us victims of surface level evaluation. A man who's won the lottery doesn't know how to make money, he quite literally got lucky. The skinny guy/girl who preaches eating whatever you want because your metabolism will speed itself up has always had a high metabolism, and they never considered how their commute to work contributes to their body shape, nor how her muscle balance and daily actions contribute. This could save your money or your time. Just because a coach has a good physique doesn't mean they can bring you to have a good physique. Having does not require knowing. Thoughts?

Did some short writing in the first section(understanding) of the learning course. Should provide a bit of value while im working on the other project, check it out and leave feedback here.
