Got the last packet of my protocol kit. Congrats @joshdavislight and @jenna for finishing strong on the most complex publishing project I’ve ever been part of.

When I originally reached out to @vgr to work on all this, my rough mental model for the deliverable was "something like the breaking smart ebook, but for Ethereum" 😁

The scope ended up far larger, but in a weird way I think we got pretty close to that original vision. Long live the Protocol Kit 📒

Funny enough, last year, David Perell had @pmarca on his podcast and asked him why no one had ever hired Venkat to do a similar project again... right when we were working on the first mailer for the kit 😎

Didn't catch that question in the clip I saw where marc called me a "lateral thinker" (mixed blessing 🤣). 

I did have several people approach me with similar projects after that, but none of them had much meat to them, idea-wise. Not everything has enough depth to sustain that kind of deep dive.

Ah yes, that’s another necessary condition. Deep thesis domains need immersion, which I’ve also had around EF

Multitasking, found "venkatesh rao" in the show description and used that timestamp. Main reason he said it's hard to do is that it's awkward to invite 
"random people" to important meetings to gather enough context.
