Being Learning-Based: What’s Actually Holding Us Back from Growth? | Roger Nix on The Inner Estate

"Learning gives a power in my own life.” - Roger Nix

In this episode of The Inner Estate, I sit down with Roger Nix—real estate leader, mentor, and someone who embodies what it means to be learning-based.

This conversation dives into the deeper side of growth: how we evolve by staying curious, how we get unstuck by asking better questions, and how our willingness to learn shapes who we become. Roger shares his own stories, moments of shift, and the role mentorship, connection, and reflection have played in both his personal and professional life.

We explore the stages of learning, what it means to be learning-based (not just in business, but in how we live), and why real growth happens when we stop focusing on knowing everything and start being open to more.

This episode is a reminder that the most important work we do often starts on the inside—and that learning isn’t something you outgrow, it’s something you grow into.

Topics include:
✅ Staying grounded while staying open
✅ Learning in motion: the stages that shape us
✅ What keeps us stuck—and how we move forward
✅ The role of people, mentorship, and reflection
✅ How growth changes when we shift from “knowing” to “learning”
