I hung out in forums. Listen read almost every word in this forum. I am mostly self taught. I evolved as I went along. Then I accquired the skills of Management by looking at how other succesful groups did it. Groups that release fast and slow. How to interact with problem staff. How to move a project along without annoying people.
Mentar taught me how to use Yatta and the basics of IVTC.

I get source that are capped at 119 fps for no reason, that have VBR stuffed into AVI, and similar problems.
I'm glad I'm not alone...
