What’s your worst version?
Oh, hi friends!
Sometimes, to start anything, you first have to make the worst version.
This doesn't only apply to writing.
You can knit the worst hat. Bake the worst cookies. Run the worst mile.
Type the worst email. Film the worst video. Lead the worst meeting.
Somehow, creating the worst version gives you a ground floor. It steadies you.
Then you get to try again.
I’m gonna go make some worst versions today. Join me?
“You become who you know.”
From Ryan Holiday's latest.
Are you and your friends aligned? Who do you know and admire? Can you set up a time to hang out with them this week? Can I stop asking questions now?
“Your taste is killer.” (~2 mins)
I could probably recite this in my sleep by now. One of my all-time favorites on creative work, by Ira Glass.

Thanks, as always, for reading.
