Well, six months later, I got a package in the mail from Starbucks with a pound of coffee and a tiny little single plunger coffee maker and then like 60 cups with my quote on the side.

This is what I want.

They put it all over the world in the hands of millions of Starbucks customers.

I know because a subset of those customers has tracked me down for the last 20 years because the quote starts, the irony of commitment is that it's deeply liberating.

And so I still get messages like, I decided to propose to my wife or I decided to quit my job.

So that was fucking weird, right?

And yes, I got a signal back that, okay, maybe there was something here.

So that was useful.

But the more useful data in my experience and my experience coaching people is the fact that I was doing it in the first place.

I love it.

What do you do that's weird?

What are you doing on the down low?

What are you doing on the down low?

Yeah, that doesn't really matter.

fit with the persona you have shared with the world.

Oh, I'm creating crazy shit all day long, all day long.

And it is, if you look at the pattern, a clue to the things you're passionate about and the gifts you can share with the world.

This is another episode, but it is, to your point, an absolutely legitimate place to start.

And if you really are struggling, start here.

No, in the middle of the night, that's what you're doing.
