I have been writing this letter in little parts over the past decade. It’s in the margins of my work papers, in the notes section of my phone, in the many, many, many half-finished Moleskin journals I’ve kept along the way.

I interviewed @Jayyanginspires — author of You Can Just Do Things — on fear, agency, and building your own opportunities. It's a wildly awesome story and a reminder that there's never been a better time to chart your own path. Read it here → https://t.co/v346GpG7xk
