Erik Michielsen: How are you improving how you learn?
Hammans Stallings: Well, we're very lucky to live in a day and age in which there, you
know, there's an increasing rate, ever increasing rate of knowledge creation. So, we have tools
that we can use now that help us kind of cope, help us manage those things. So, it's learning
how to maybe hack a tool, like say your Amazon Kindle or using blogs to sort of manage all
the complexity of all these new sources of information. So, I make -- say, I take advantage
of things like, you know, the references in the back of books, you know, they're essentially
old school hyperlinks. So, if you want to understand a field, you want to understand
kind of how people think, how they come to think the way they do, you need to be able
to go back and read how they got to where they did and so, kind of continuing to go
down the rabbit hole by looking through those -- those hyperlinks I find to be very useful.
So, that's kind of a nice way of -- because everything's connected and everything is -- is
so accessible. I can use Amazon as a way to -- to do research, you know, in an area of
books I can find the -- the reference books that wouldn't have been available otherwise.
