He emphasizes that intelligence is not simply about acquiring knowledge but rather about using that knowledge to take action and bring about desired outcomes in various aspects of life. Ashton highlights the importance of learning through experience and how it shapes our mindset, actions, and results. He emphasizes that true intelligence lies in the speed at which we bridge the gap between what we know and taking action on that knowledge. Ashton also shares the significance of being proactive, taking calculated risks, and continuously adjusting our frameworks based on the feedback we receive from our actions.

[00:00 - 07:31] The Power of Experience
·       True intelligence lies in utilizing knowledge to drive positive change in various areas of life, rather than solely focusing on acquiring more information.
Learning from real-life experiences and taking action based on that knowledge can lead to faster growth and development. Our mindset and beliefs shape the actions we take, so it's crucial to continuously assess and adjust our frameworks to achieve better results. Taking action provides valuable feedback that helps us learn, adapt, and improve our decision-making process. Instead of getting stuck in a cycle of research and analysis, successful individuals take action promptly, knowing that real-world feedback is more valuable than theoretical knowledge alone.  
[07:31 - 15:18] Embracing a Growth Mindset
Adopting a "ready, fire, aim" mentality allows for rapid progress, as mistakes and failures are seen as learning opportunities rather than setbacks. Being open to calculated risks and seizing opportunities is a key characteristic of intelligent action-takers. As automation and AI impact traditional job markets, developing multiple streams of income becomes increasingly important for financial security and growth. Intelligent people prioritize ongoing education, constantly refining their strategies and approaches based on new knowledge and experiences. Viewing life as an infinite journey encourages perseverance, resilience, and a willingness to learn from failures, ultimately leading to long-term success and personal growth.
