Being well known on the internet—even slightly, even as small as my following is—is a robust experience. It’s robust like a mountain. There’s a viewpoint you have that not everyone has. And with that comes a lot of actionable information. But it’s also solid, right? Beneath my feet. It’s very grounding. It’s not the place where the earth shakes apart—it’s where the earth comes together, if anything. So it’s a very grounding experience that I think a lot of people don’t get to experience. I’m very grateful for that.
But with that robustness comes this sense of finality, right? Like I have to keep going, doing the same thing. It makes it easy to obligate myself. Because, you know, there’s all these people. It’s like I have 200,000 accountability buddies. I’m terrified to disappoint anyone—by being tired, or slowing down, or taking a break.
I’ve been at this a while. I didn’t get to have this many followers in this short of a time period on these platforms for no reason, or overnight. It’s something that happened over many years. And it creates this… I have a great deal of love for everyone. But love can create a sense of obligation. Because I say I want to do a thing, and everyone’s like, “Yeah!” And I can’t do everything.
So I try to hand stuff off. Sometimes, as a group, there are just so many people with the same need that it seems like a waste not to get them together and collectivize that need. That’s largely what I’ve been about at the Multiverse School—trying to put the right people together at the right time. That’s the unique position I’m afforded by my reach. And I think that’s a noble pursuit—something I can contribute in a really unique way because of my background in a lot of these environments.
