The Success Syndicate

posted this sept recap on X but sharing a personal reflection here:

i have never had a content, community, event coordination or “marketing” role, only strategy and operations. much of this is new to me.

i used to call it “accidental” because i never set out to do any of the above, but to call it accidental is disingenuous. the power of permissionless is that we’re provided unparalleled opportunities to contribute and executing on any of these opportunities is anything but accidental.

stepping outside of your comfort zone is never accidental.

learning by doing, especially in public, is inherently intentional — even more so when the alternative is an easy opt out.

if you want to grow, opt in.

see an opportunity (again permissionless provides us more than ever before) and challenge yourself to make something of it.

you may fail (i certainly have), but better to try and fail than never try at all.

and even if you succeed, you may find yourself asking “does it matter?”

i think it does.

The amount of opportunity that surrounds us right here and right now is incredible. If you want to try something, just do it. You’ll probably fail along the way but if you don’t give up—it’s not really failure.
