When was the moment you realized you’d never try to seem smarter or more impressive than you really are? I’ll go first! I was 16, talking to the school’s certified heartbreaker, and we were chatting about books. He asked if I’d read The Prince by Machiavelli. I had never even heard of it. Then he said he didn’t know anyone who’d actually read it and that I talk about books in such an interesting way, he’d love to discuss it. Guess who spent the next week reading a 16th-century political theory classic. When I showed up ready to discuss, he looked surprised and said: “Whoa, you really read it? That was 2Pac’s favorite book. I wanted to read it too, but it’s kinda heavy… did you like it?“ Yeah. Never again.

The smartest move is to act as stupid as possible. Learned that in my late 30s, and quit corporate life shortly after to do my own thing.

Wow, as someone from the corporate world myself, that sounds both scary and amazing! 😭

It was very scary at first. I deliberated the move for 2 or 3 years, actually. Not going to lie and say it's not a stressful thing to go at it alone. Most days (including weekends) I work like a madman... 40 hour weeks would be like working half time for me. 😹 But it's also brought a lot of flexibility and control in others ways, that I really appreciate! Love what I'm doing, despite the stress, wouldn't want go back!
