Fundamentals on Nostr: This goes out to all of the super talented kids out there who built such huge success ...
This goes out to all of the super talented kids out there who built such huge success the last cycle as an influencer that they are now power brokers and capital allocators in this cycle: (I’m thinking a lot of ODELL (npub1qny…95gx) but this is pretty evergreen except for point 5)
1. Nobody has ever charted your path. Don’t be overly hard on yourself for not knowing how to do it.
2. There’s no jumping off the ship without risking serious injury. It’s a worthy goal but consider how much energy you are willing to give to it.
3. You succeeded as a boy but now you’re a man and you have to defend your kingdom without alienating the people who helped you build it. I understand why you entertain ideas of walking away and I think you’re on the right track but I think you have to win at this level before expressing those ideas publicly.
4. As much as you advocate for privacy, you chose to live your personal journey in public. As a (boy) podcaster and influencer, this is what build your audience. As a (man) power broker and capital allocator, this is problematic and at odds with winning at this level. You’re likely gonna have to slay the boy at some point.
5, (specific to Odell) try not to lean too much into comedy, joking with your audience, clients, etc. it’s just not your bag and it makes your mission even harder. Comedy is for autists who need it to get people to tolerate them. Look at it like ADD medication - if you have ADD you might benefit from using it cautiously, but if you have normie brain chemistry you’re messing around with hard drugs. I can’t explain why Marty is good with it - he’s just a freak.
I hope you see this with the respect it’s intended to convey. This is more for my listeners who might have a distorted sense of how I feel about Odell, but also kids like Mallers who I see similarly. I have enough respect for them to write this note and express these feelings.
