When we decide you want to learn something new it can feel incredibly daunting. Regardless of starting point or motivation, we are embarking on a journey into the unknown. Questions are everywhere;

What should I learn?
Where do I start?
How should I learn?
How do I measure progress?
What if I give up?

Back in 2019, I gave a talk at the London Gophers meet-up. The talk was titled: Beyond the Tour. I can remember feeling like a fraud for giving the talk. I was well in to a career working with technology and here I was, using up a precious speaking slot, talking as if I was a complete beginner. I hadn’t achieved anything groundbreaking with Go. I had no new framework or product to promote. This was a talk about learning, an approach to learning that embraced the fact that I had other interests outside the world of Go. At the heart of my journey to learn Go, a series of intersecting interests.
