š§ Announcing something new, Is there a recession coming? and 5 cool things this week
The creator economy winter and updates from The Wisdom Project | Wisdom Letter #143
Hey there š
š¢ Announcement
Happy to announce, that Iām starting a new podcast with my friend Pranav.
Itās called The Social Code.
Itās about the messy, complex, deeper conversations that we need to be having as a society.
The podcast covers topics that are hard to cover in a newsletter or a Tweet.
Some issues need deep, reflective conversations, and can only be addressed via a live discussion.
Iāve been having such conversations with Pranav for many years now. Heās a social scientist, Ph.D., works in academia, and Iām a practitioner, operating in the āreal worldā.
So our points of view differ on many things.
And that difference often brings out interesting insights.
The first series of episodes is around the idea of work and how it has evolved over time.
Right from the hunter-gatherer days to modern times.
What is the meaning of work, how it has evolved over time, and how does money come into the picture.
Check it out, and do let us know what you think. We are just starting out, so we desperately need feedback on how we can improve the podcast for you.
Weāve been discussing self-employment over the last few weeks, and looks like thereās a global recession on the way.
People are getting fired, companies are lowering their projections.
This can either be the best time to start working for yourself or the worst time š
Letās see how it goes.
But one thing is for sure, the next 12-24 months are going to be economically hard for everyone.
Hereās how Iām preparing for the recession as a solopreneur:

š 5 Cool Things
How Learning Happens | David Perell
āInspiration is the keystone of learning. Itās the engine behind a studentās motivation and the glue that makes ideas stick. But because our school system undervalues the necessity of inspiration, students donāt learn as much as they could.Ā
Why do people learn things?Ā
Usually, because they need to. Theyāre frustrated by something, either in themselves or the world.ā
How to Pick a Career (That Actually Fits You) | Wait But Why
āFor most of us, childhood is kind of like a river, and weāre kind of like tadpoles.
We didnāt choose the river. We just woke up out of nowhere and found ourselves on some path set for us by our parents, by society, and by circumstances. Weāre told the rules of the river and the way we should swim and what our goals should be.
Our job isnāt to think about our pathāitās to succeed on the path weāve been placed on, based on the way success has been defined for us.

Quitting Wall Street to become a creator | RadReads Newsletter founder Khe Hy | I Am A Creator S2E2
āKhe Hy had everything heād dreamed of as a self-described ānerdyā kid from an immigrant family - a high-paying job in Wall Street, a fancy New York City apartment, and as many shoes as he wanted, the kind he could never afford as a kid. But he wasnāt happy.
No matter how much money he made or how many promotions he got or how many expensive things he could buy, he just didnāt feel alive.ā
