I spent some time distilling each principle into an accompanying visual.
Dunning-Kruger 101
Some grounded commentary on the phenomenon of the “self-proclaimed genius” by new friend and collaborator Sahil Bloom.
Lots more to come via this partnership.
Opportunities Don’t Visit Caves
Janiz Ozolins writes (and illustrates) his relationship with the “Perfectionist Monster”
Another example of the opportunity that can only arise from working in public.
Extra Curricular
I bought some new art for our home office via The Skateroom — not only do I love the product, their business model is fascinating.
As a Certified B Corp — they partner with artists to license their work for reproduction (in a very niche way) and donate 25% of their profits to funding education.
Positive-sum stuff.
(I am not affiliated with The Skateroom whatsoever, just a fan!)
This product is designed with you in mind, so let me know what’s noise and what’s signal and we’ll keep tweaking.
All the best to you and yours,
Jack
Love it. More of the same please
keep going.
