Dear Friend,
I am tired.
In addition to this, I feel lousy because I've made little progress lately in writing my book on the antinet.
Here's why: As you may know, I am one of the co-founders of XYO.[1] Last week, XYO was listed on the biggest cryptocurrency exchange in the United States.[2] For any cryptocurrency, this is rare. It was unexpected, at least for me![3]
Last week was rewarding. Financially rewarding, and emotionally rewarding. I shall write it about at length in the future.
But for now, I am tired.
At least, that's what a part of me feels.
Then I'm reminded of one thing. When I remind myself of this thing, it snaps me out of tiredness.
It is this: It's all in the mind.
You see, the truth is... I'm not tired. Not even close.
Stay tuned.
I'm going to write more instead of podcast for one reason: Writing resides within my Zone of Genius. (Not my Zone of Competency, or Incompetency. It does not even fall within my Zone of Excellence——in fact, a significant life mistake is living in your Zone of Excellence. Here are the results from a poll I created on Twitter. This confirmed my belief.[4] Yet, this introduces another question...
Is my decision to write more frequently an example of confirmation bias? Who the hell knows. I sure as hell don't know.
I only know one thing:
WHEN IT COMES TO WRITING, I'M RUSTY AS TITS!
This piece of writing sucks.
And right now, I suck (as a writer).
But I'll get better.
And so will your reading experience here. Amazing what happens when you ship every single day![5]
Until then,
Always remember...
To stay crispy my friend.
Sincerely,

Scott P. Scheper

I am not involved operationally with XYO anymore because, well, in brief, I like starting things, not running them. ↩︎
