The Origami Lesson: What One Simple Experiment Revealed About How We Learn | Dr. Mark Johnson

What if there's a different way to think about developing skills? In this @MAGICademy conversation, Dr. Mark Johnson shares some fascinating insights through a simple paper-folding exercise that reveals something surprising about how we master new abilities.

We explore ideas like "latency"—the gap between hearing instructions and applying them—and why storytelling seems to help skills stick better.

Whether you're developing your own capabilities, helping others build theirs, or just curious about how we get better at things, there might be something here worth discovering. Feel free to grab a piece of paper and follow along.
