Episode 139 - Is It Better to Be a Generalist or a Specialist?

[JulyDiaz 2797]

What's so special about being a specialist? What is a specialist, in general? How, generally, does one become a specialist? James and Stephen won't specifically answer any of those questions today, but they will speak about them in a general sense. Mostly, our hosts will break down what it means to be a generalist or a specialist across as many disciplines as they can think of - from economics and mathematics to golf, chess, and dating - and attempt to bridge the similarities across all of the fields.
