I used to tell young men to think a long time about what is waiting for them before they decided to join the community. But, I’ve learned that by the time they get to me, they have already made up their mind. Most of the time when a young man asks for advice, he is just looking for validation. None of them really want to hear the bad stuff. I understand that very well. I will leave you with some words of wisdom to burn into your soul as you begin your own journey down the rabbit hole. They are not my words; they were handed down to me by the men who trained me many years ago:
We the willing, led by the unknowing
Are doing the impossible
For the ungrateful
We have done so much
With so little
For so long
We are now qualified
To do anything
With nothing

Do the Invisible work. No recognition, no accountability mechanism, no short-term payoffs. The down payment on future performance is the invisible work. Here’s to putting in more hours.
Art is the elimination of the unnecessary. We are thankful for this community and stoked to be wrapping up another year. Next year we raise the bar and lean into the void. Cutting out all the noise and getting aggressively surgical about what the next few decades will bring. We will see a lot of you guys in that void so we are pretty amped. Way too busy to make a new reel but we wanted to say happy thanksgiving. It’s a genius idea for a holiday. Cheers from beautiful Spain.
