Want to Master Any Skill Fast? Volunteer to Teach It | with Camper Bull
You don't truly understand something until you're responsible for teaching it.
In this episode of The Strategy Session, Camper explores why volunteering to teach what you're learning is one of the fastest ways to turn information into real mastery. Backed by cognitive science and decades of personal experience, this conversation reveals how low-pressure volunteer environments create powerful learning accelerators that most professionals overlook.
What You'll Learn ✔ Why teaching others dramatically increases retention and practical application ✔ How volunteer organizations create low-risk environments for rapid skill development ✔ The hidden downside of consumption-only learning models ✔ Why organizing knowledge for others accelerates expertise faster than solo learning ✔ How volunteering can unexpectedly expand confidence, opportunity, and network
From volunteering to give a two-hour talk as a college student, to learning photography by giving work away, to producing video that unexpectedly aired on CNN, Camper shares real examples of how teaching transformed learning into lived experience.
Volunteering removes the pressure of performance and replaces it with collaboration, experimentation, and shared growth. When people learn together without competition, ideas compound faster, skills deepen, and opportunities appear that would never exist in high-stakes environments.
If growth matters to you, the question isn't what you should learn next. It's where you can teach what you're learning right now.
What skill could you volunteer to practice—and teach—this month?
