I later, I think I found out 80% chance in retrospect, she was sleeping with the finance minister at the time. I But whatever it was, it was like very high signal and bizarrely accurate. And we had hundreds of stringers in effect. And we would be able to publish things that were more hunches than a normal newspaper would at the time.

We had the opportunity to sell it to one large news organization. The professor ultimately didn't want to sell it to them. I asked him to buy me out at that multiple, which he did. They ended up selling to the Financial Times a couple of years later. I was producing someone else's show.

I wouldn't have had the language for it at the time, but I kind of wanted to try out being source and having my thing be at the center of it. I tried to start several businesses. They were failures.

A wilderness period. I remember somebody giving me grief for how many different email addresses I had. And that really stung at the time. I was like, ah, yeah, he's right. Like, I've had like three email addresses in two years or maybe more than that, four.

I think one would be just patience and not overweighting. If you're doing that at what Bob Keegan would call the socialized stage of your life, where you're really focused on approval of other people and where you are in the system and being, quote, relevant. You got to make that as object as you can and not let it freak you out. Tom Morgan did this five-minute talk at Zone. Have you watched it?

It's great. And he closes with one of your favorite quotes, I think, on Joseph Campbell, follow your bliss. There's a follow your bliss element to it and trusting the universe that if you get in touch with the thing you're compulsive about and that you love, the world will come to you. It's a trust fall, and it's hard.

And I remember during that period thinking, I'm very interested in people and information networks. There's an element of almost being an anthropologist. And we were thinking, how does that fit in? I had that ignition around Dan Stern that we talked about, who had run Reservoir. And so that was one compass point through that period.

Yeah. The tolerance for the ambiguity, the willingness to take risk, to not play on somebody else's board. Yeah. But I think you're right that it's a nice image of you try chaos and then you go back to order as a default. And then you try chaos and it's like, a repeat iteration game. There's a quote I love from Michael Singer, who's a spiritual teacher of sorts.

And he says, eventually you will see that in the way of the Tao, you're not going to wake up, see what to do, and then go do it. In the Tao, you are blind. And you have to learn how to be blind. You can never see where the Tao is going. You can only be there with it. I think there's something like that.

It's like the tolerance to be blind and not know and just experiment and figure something out is very hard to do. at any stage of life, but particularly when your rent is due or you have a family or you have financial obligations. So that seems to come.
