Swizz Beatz echoed Tyson’s sentiment, noting that he is always striving to learn and grow as a person. He shared that he travels frequently to expose himself to new experiences and ideas and that he makes a point of passing this mindset on to the next generation.

The rapper also mentioned that he believes that one should never stop learning, even if they’ve achieved a certain level of success because there’s always something new to learn.

He said “I am still a student, I see people who act as if they know it all but you stop living when you stop learning. I am open to new things, that’s why I travel so much. I am also passing the info down to new kids.”

The conversation also touched on the concept of desensitization, with Swiss saying that he tries to avoid becoming too jaded by the constant stream of information and experiences in today’s world. Instead, he chooses to remain open to new things and to continue learning and growing as a person. He acknowledged that it’s easy to become desensitized to the world around us, but it’s important to make an effort to remain curious and open-minded. 

Tyson and Swiss’s conversation serves as a reminder that struggle, growth, and learning are key to a full and meaningful life. No one has all the answers, and it’s important to remain curious, open-minded, and willing to take risks to achieve our goals and make progress. 

Their message is that, even though the struggle may be difficult, If it leads to the accomplishment of one’s goal or something close to it, it’s worth it. This is a powerful message that can inspire people to embrace their struggles and see them as opportunities for growth and progress.
