David Cancel is a wonderful role model, leading by example on many aspects and sharing his journey along the way (I'm a big fan if it wasn't clear by now): "Being a frontman and having my name and face out there is pretty difficult. But the reason I do it is that I believe it's one of the best ways for me to serve my company. To push myself out of my comfort zone and try to get as much publicity for the company as possible. How do I do it? I figured out how to make it intellectually interesting." -- Making something fun and interesting for yourself is how you let your brain deal with the struggles of learning. Change the rules, play with the format until you're enjoying the iterations just enough to try again. Take a few minutes and google up his name to watch a few of his talks or interviews.
