You cannot teach without understanding a lot bit of what you're teaching. When I started doing this it was because of that, because I wanted to learn. It sounds weird, by teaching I was actually learning because I was forcing myself to deeply understand how this thing works and then I can explain it to other people. Once I understand it then I'm able to put it in a way that other people can understand it too. In a way, it's my personal way of learning by teaching others. It forces me to understand things.

Pablo also shares the challenges he faced in his path to becoming a designer, why he started his podcast, why the things you think are holding you back might actually be your superpowers, and more.
