RBG’s mother told her two things: Be a lady, and be independent. We have lost a woman who didn’t just believe in herself. She believed in all of us, too. Beautiful portrait by @bijoukarman @theatlantic #ruthbaderginsburg

If you want to do some writing with me next Tuesda

If you want to do some writing with me next Tuesday, then come to the Gateless writing workshop that I’m doing as part of Marc Cordon’s the joy revolution— a 12-week course he runs to help change agents get their messages into the world. And he has invited me to bring the Gateless method to his program. Writing for its own sake is worth it. Writing on a mission? Even better. Grab a slot. Link in bio. @thejoyrev

You've heard you should pick a niche. Other people

You've heard you should pick a niche. Other people told you. I probably told you.

The only problem with that: It makes you think you have to pick one thing first and bet on JUST that one thing. Always and forever. It's like the “find your passion” advice (and you know how I feel about that).

You are not a screwdriver. You don’t do just one thing in one way.

My good friend Janice O’Leary is executive editor at Robb Report. Over the past 20 years, Janice has put on publishing roles like you and I put on pants.

And every time, she learned something that challenged what she thought she knew about the work she does. And this flexibility is what has kept her excited about her work, especially as her work, and the landscape it’s in, changes.

One thing we're learning now: The key to growth is seeing the transferability of skills from one group, one industry, to another.

Exploring the connections in your work can be really exciting, because it means there’s always something new you can do, try, learn. It’s how we’ll continue to rise as things get weirder.

I recently interviewed Korean-American YA novelist

I recently interviewed Korean-American YA novelist Maurene Goo on the Making It Big in 30 Minutes podcast (just launched this week!).

Here's why I think you might like it:

Because Maurene is so very grounded and honest about her own journey to being an author.

In short, she had NO idea you could write books for a living. Zero.

But she had this book idea and she just kept noodling on it. She went to Emerson to Focus On Publishing and Get a Real Job...but she just kept taking lit classes. She loved books! Simple as that.

Today she's written several very popular YA novels, and I think it's helpful to hear one person's journey wherein they don't give you a bunch of bullshit. She definitely does not.

My favorite line from this interview is when she toyed with being a journalist for a minute, and then was like, what? I can't do that. "I am not intrepid," she said.

Check out the interview with @maurenegoo wherever you listen to podcasts. Link in bio. #Author #creative #podcast

What does it mean to "make it?"
"Making it" means

What does it mean to "make it?"
"Making it" means different things to different people. It could mean making a living, making a difference. Making it "in the industry," whatever industry that is. It may mean that they now have clout, or recognition, or straight-up cash.
I sit on the alumni board of directors at Emerson College, where I earned my MFA a thousand years ago. Some of its most famous grads include Henry Winkler, Dennis Leary, Bill Burr, I hate that I'm only listing white men in show business, you get my point.
I don't think it's relevant anymore to assume there's just ONE way to make it.
As far as I'm concerned, if you're making something, you've made it.
This idea inspired a new podcast that just launched TODAY, which I co-created and co-produced with Rebecca Glucklich, and proudly host.
And I think you might like it, regardless of your career, background, or alma mater.
It's called "Making It Big in 30 Minutes," and it's live now on Spotify, iTunes, or wherever you listen to podcasts. Link in bio. #podcast @emersonalumni @emersoncollege #career @megan.mitchellll @maurenegoo @thechee
