    #1 In 2002, Mike Rowe hosted his life-changing S Curve in a sudden, raging flood of human waste in a sewer beneath San Francisco. He grew up idolizing his grandfather, but his grandfather told him he was enamored with the idea of being a jobber rather than a tradesman.

    #2 Until he found his sweet spot at age 42, Mike Rowe made a career out of exploration. He then made exploration the model for his hit reality TV series Dirty Jobs.

    #3 The Explorer phase is when you consider your destination, even if it seems like the destination chose you. It’s when you do your homework before committing to a course of action, lest you find yourself at the top of an S Curve you don’t care about.

    #4 We are also paralyzed by fear. We are constantly afraid of the unknown, and our brain generates stress and hyper-alertness to protect us from threats. We over-emphasize the negative to protect ourselves.

      The Explorer phase is when you consider your destination, even if it seems like the destination chose you. It’s when you do your homework before committing to a course of action, lest you find yourself at the top of an S Curve you don’t care about.
