“Practice makes perfect” doesn’t always hold up. In this episode, Ben unpacks how repetition can cement the wrong habits—and how unlearning is often more important than sheer effort.

With stories from violin training, parenting, and Mandarin pronunciation, this is a candid look at what happens when trying harder only makes things worse—until you pause, reframe, and shift.

Includes live violin illustrations and reflections on how musicians, builders, and parents can all fall into perfection loops that don’t serve them.

Note: Arc 1 is intentionally short-form and structurally dense—designed for high compression, reflection, and replay.

✍️ Echoes are collected at yyand.me/the-first-echo.
Please listen to Episode 0 before responding.


Episode descriptions for Arc 1 were drafted with AI assistance to keep perfectionism from slowing down the process.
I’ll update them over time to better reflect my voice—especially as listener signals clarify what this wants to become.
