Another related thought before I put this tootstream into a dang blog post like I should have to begin with:
The only way to have a long-running career doing something is to start doing it.
6 months ago I did not have a 6 month old podcast.
3 years ago I did not have a blog that was 3 years old.
etc.
Or, to put it annoyingly axiomatically:
Don't stop yourself from being yourself. Become yourself by doing the work to be who you want to be.
