  • The host frames this as a general principle: identify a problem, then make a decision that positively disrupts the pattern

Getting wisdom is presented as an active pursuit, not a passive acquisition — 'get' means to go after it

Getting wisdom is presented as an active pursuit, not a passive acquisition — 'get' means to go after it
