Stacking talents ftw

I'm inspired by the way you describe your career path. It's like the idea that you need to take 2-3 things you like and you're good at, and put it all together to make something new and unique. If you tried to be the best at just one of those things (writing), it's competitive! But you added in a unique style of art and your interests and made it all into something that's really it's own niche. Super cool! I appreciate you sharing.

The pieces don't always make sense looking forward, but looking backwards you can start to draw connections you otherwise wouldn't have seen. The more I reflect on those, it provides new paths that wouldn't have been there, through a combination of those matured skills and interests.

People like David Perell call this your Personal Monopoly, which is a helpful way to look at it. Appreciate your comment!

I love David's stuff, I made a note to check out Write of Passage after seeing you did it. Hope you have a good week!

> What they do give you is a defined path to walk, with clear milestones and an estimated time of completion.

Hmm. A path. That doesn’t have a path. I wonder if there’s a word for that. Or maybe someone wrote a book 😂
