why do you do what you do?

i was listening to Naval’s podcast today, i noticed that he’s not the most consistent podcaster but the information there was timeless.

it made me question myself, is my podcast a destination or a means to an end?

the reason i have a podcast is because i have something to say, the reason i write is because i have something to write.

but these aren’t destinations, they are means to ends.

i write articles like this because they’ll eventually form the underlying knowledge for a book.

the podcast was just a means to get my ideas out into the world.

it was never something that i would take as a job or something i would retire off.

you need to assess your current engagements and ask yourself the question, is this my destination or just a means to an end?
