"That's why people hate virtue signalers and love the sauve scoundrel."
Naturally, writing in all its different forms has its usefulness. Poetry deserves flowery-ness, but business writing deserves clarity. Such great inspiration. And advice. And a vote of confidence for leaning into my personality, despite fearing other people won't like it. Might as well be charming - after all, there's nothing worse than being tedious. :)
This was so well written - so many tips on good writing and communication, with some great examples to back them up. I've never really considered Bohr vs Einstein like that. I suppose you could say something similar of Darwin and Russell-Wallace?
P.S. also loved your insights in startup land - i see many similar things you point out
Thank you Zan! I appreciate the kind words. I know less about Darwin and Russel than the previous two (just finished the Walter Isaacson Einstein bio) but I’d say so.
Wallace almost seems like an Ernst Mach character (in the Einstein story) in that he was an essential part of the work but who’s contributions were overshadowed historically by the formative successive works of their counterpart (Einstein and Wallace respectively)
So glad to have you here Renee! Definitely, go direct and be your charming self. You’re aiming for 1000 true fans, so let your authentic voice shine through!
I'm so glad I found this publication!
