Great read. I still think there’s a step missing with this approach to career building. Naval’s tweet storm also changed my life positively in this direction, but it misses a big step imho.
The step = how do you get clarity on what you are most curious about + building / leveraging your “specific knowledge”. Especially in a world where you are bombarded, mostly subconsciously, with ideas that influence you towards herd behaviour. Distractions.
Thanks for sharing, Peter! These stories are so inspiring and genuine. I know it's one in a million sometimes, but the idea of people showing up for what they care about and turning things for themselves by themselves is what I love reading about.
Wow - such great examples! Thanks for sharing. Shared with my 18 years old brother as he dreams to build his startup.
Great! I love seeing young people take control of their destiny.
Love the Shopify example - that was pretty mindblowing

Closest thing I’ve found is Rick Rubin’s book.
Permissionless leverage - YES!
