ON MY MIND

Doing Things Differently

“The math is simple: if you do what everyone does, you get what everyone gets. If you want different results, you have to diverge.”

However, the second you do something different, you become a target. Some people criticize from fear, some from threatened egos, some from genuine concern disguised as caution. But criticism is the easy part.

The hard part is that you lose the map. If you've outsourced your definition of success your whole life, having to define it yourself feels like losing GPS mid-drive. You have to build your sense of direction while you're already moving.

Meanwhile, the conventional path parades its rewards right in front of you every day: the promotions, the vacations, the security. You can see exactly what you're giving up, while what you're building remains invisible.

Most people optimize for comfort. They choose being one blade of grass among many over being a tall poppy, the safety of the group over the risk of criticism for being different.

Outliers pick their own game, choose how to keep score, and then pay the price to play it.” - Shane Parrish

Insomniac vs. Link Miami Rebels: Next Marvel Movie or Just a Fight Over Club Space & Factory Town?

Miami’s dance music scene just got its own superhero crossover episode. On one side, Insomniac, the global heavyweight behind Electric Daisy Carnival, armed with corporate muscle and endless lasers. On the other, the Link Miami Rebels, local legends, defenders of downtown nightlife, keepers of the sunrise set.

Once allies, now bitter rivals, they’re heading to federal court instead of the dance floor. The lawsuit claims a dream partnership to run Club Space and Factory Town went sideways faster than a DJ booth power outage, and Miami’s nightlife crown jewel hangs in the balance.
