- Assume you’re always auditioning for a bigger role
- Give before you take
- Air your weirdness
- Host events
- A period of lostness is a part of it
i think some novel points (host events is good, i agree) but also the rest of this is fuzzy and unorganized. you can spend a lot of effort accumulating microlucks but not get anywhere and burn out completely and early.

basically classic advice is do more x talk more about what you do = surface area
can improve that by pursuing authentic curiosity as TFA suggests
