I want to leave my mark on the world, but not in the Steve Jobs or Elon Musk kind of way. I heard Elon say in an interview once that most people don’t want his life and I agree with that. Plus I’m not smart enough anyways. I want to leave a mark more in the make a good impact on everyone you meet kind of way. I once worked at a grocery store and began a 3 year stint with no alcohol after I started working there. A year or so after I quit, I went back and one guy I used to work with came up to me and said I inspired him to stop drinking and he hadn’t drank for a year. One time my dog injured his paw and when he was healed but walking a little gingerly I took him to the artisan market. There was a lady on crutches that my dog instantly wanted to say hi to; we chatted for a minute. She enjoyed meeting my dog and looked me in the eyes when we left telling me how good I take care of my dog. I felt a genuine appreciation from her. I got the feeling she appreciated something in our talk.

Embracing -1 to 0 I first began thinking about this from a @benersing prompt on making the jump to entrepreneurship. Came up again recently in a conversation with @serendipity The journey from -1 to 1 is almost framed from the need to run away from the job or career you're in at the time. I got to see it first hand with my dad dropping his lucrative semiconductor job to pursue a startup in biotech. I don't think it needs to be this way After getting laid off, jumping into a 0 -> 1 grind was tempting. I've accepted that I'm still exploring. I'm falling back in love with my AI work. There's still so much fun I can have getting paid to just focus on building these systems and agents out before going out on my own. For now I'm making the most of learning and finding my path At the end of the day you've won once you've found your path.. just enjoy it a little bit

A Salute to Noun O'Clock Live (my /firstdraft ) Tonight is the 1,000th *straight* & final show. Many won't know Noun O'Clock Live, but if you've come across @zerorightsmedia w/ @toadyhawk.eth & @jackwyldes.eth that was born out of Noun O'Clock LIve--a daily show for all things /nouns I was there in the beginning as a daily listener. NOC Live helped me make Nouns my first home in web3. They were fun & informative, dedicated to helping people like me learn how a DAO could steward 10s of millions of dollars to promote a brand & do good in the world. On 8/8/22, they did a 24 hr show for the 1st Anniversary of Nouns. I was one of their guests because I had just joined Nouncil (Nounish Council) & had won my first prophouse. That show regularly comes into my mind. I have art on my wall from it (s/o @messhup ). I can't tell my web3 story w/o talking a lot about The NounSquare & NOC Live. So, thank you @toadyhawk.eth @benbodhi @nounishprof @supertightwoody @robotfishgirl @aubtoshi among others 🫡

The Unwritten Rules of Farcaster (a thread 1/11) 1. Don’t ask for follows—most users ignore or avoid those who do. 2. Engagement matters—treat it as a social network, not just a broadcasting platform. 3. The algorithm prioritizes engagement—interact with content you like to train your feed. 4. Give likes freely to support content you enjoy. 5. Reply thoughtfully—generic responses don’t add value and may be ignored. 6. Tag people with purpose—avoid tagging non-followers without a good reason. 7. Use channels to connect—they’re a safe space for engaging beyond your followers. 8. If you’re being ignored, check your spam label—many won’t see your replies if you’re at Level 0 or 1. 9. Rules are looser with friends—banter freely, but remember relationships take time to build. 10. Farcaster is a unique, close-knit community—engage authentically, be patient, and you’ll find your place.

I’m thinking about bringing back my “museletter” format that I wrote several years ago. 1. What’s a museletter? Each week you share what you’ve been thinking about. It’s a simple roundup of some observations and notes from the past several days. There’s no pressure to synthesize or do much formatting before publishing. Ideally you’ve already done some “thinking in public” during the week and can simply reference yourself. 2. Why bring it back? I love the consistency that @firstdraftclub has given me (31 consecutive weeks of writing something in /firstdraft) but I don't feel like I'm developing my ideas as much as I'd like. FDC is merely a "minimum viable writing habit" (h/t @sonyasupposedly). I have tons of ideas that get stuck somewhere between a cast and a full post, and I want a forcing function to push them out into the world. A weekly museletter is the next level of commitment that can be a reliable habit.
