Seeking Difficulty: Jack Cai, 3x Blindfolded Rubik’s World records

Life is like a Rubik's cube, sometimes you have to mess it up to make it better. Solving puzzles isn't just a hobby, but a path to personal growth and success. We have Jack Cai, a 3x blindfold Rubik's Cube World Record setter. He has some fascinating insights into the world of speedcubing and seeking of difficulty. We talk about his journey to becoming a world-class cuber, the mental challenges of solving a Rubik's Cube quickly whilst blindfolded, and how he approaches life with a growth mindset. Enjoyment of challenge is an essential part of the Growth mindset and his story is a perfect example of where it can take you. Jack is an inspiration to us all, and I hope you enjoy listening to his story. - - - On the growth mindset podcast with Sam Webster Harris, we explore the psychology of happiness, satisfaction, purpose, and growth through the lens of self-improvement. Success and happiness is a state of mind unique to ourselves and is our responsibility to create. Through a process of honest self-reflection of what is holding us back and what is driving us forward, we can lose the ego and build awareness of how to be the best we can be. - - - Connect with Sam Webster Harris 🧘‍♀️ Newsletter: https://explosivethinking.substack.com/ 🐦 Twitter: https://twitter.com/samjamharris 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/samjam.zen/ - - - Stay up to date: 🤓🤓🤓 💡 Podsite: https://www.growthmindsetpodcast.com/ Epic books on growth 📚📚🐐 🏃‍♀️ Atomic Habits: https://amzn.to/3O1F5MC 🧠 Mindset, psychology of success: https://amzn.to/42nYDzj 💰 Psychology of Money: https://amzn.to/3nNnXzs - - - Show: Growth Mindset, psychology of self-improvement Episode: Seeking Difficulty: Jack Cai, 3x Blindfolded Rubik’s World records Chapters: 00:00 Intro 01:53 From Curious Kid to Speedcubing Pro 02:57 Discovering Jack's Unexpected Obsessions 03:42 Building a YouTube channel 04:20 Jack's School Experience 05:38 Goal-Oriented Pursuit Towards Success 07:51 The Impact of Parental Guidance on Jack's Growth 09:42 The Quest for Self-Understanding 11:10 Jack's Favorite Activities 14:45 The Hidden Rewards in Tackling the Difficult 17:17 Rising Above the Rest 18:41 Exploring The Future After Achieving Milestones 21:17 The Emotional Highs and Lows of Winning 23:53 Jack's Approach to Solving the Cube Blindfolded 25:29 Tactics Behind Speedcubing 29:40 Investment Behind Jack's Achievements 31:38 Training to be better over time 32:56 Vibe at Rubik's Cube Competitions 36:04 Moving into other parts of Jack's life 37:06 Exploring Life as a Digital Nomad 40:50 Jack's Perspective on Living Life to the Fullest 42:06 Jack's Most Useful Travel Experience 44:41 Opportunities in AI 46:43 Jack's Earliest Memories 47:21 Behind The Scene Support That Shaped Jack's Journey 48:00 Role Models & Reflections Learn more about your ad choices.
