Creators and runners

What do creators and runners have in common?

Some sprint, some run marathons:

Different focus: Sprinters go fast, marathon runners go far. Creators get to choose whether what kind of race they want to run, and shouldn’t be jealous of creators who chose a different type of race.

Different muscles: Sprinters are high-twitch, marathon runners are low-twitch. Creators get to choose what skills and environments to thrive in, and learn from people who are playing the same game.

Different heart rate: Sprinters have high heart rates, marathon runners tick slower. Whether a short exhilarating ride or long voyage is your preference as a creator, let it be what it is once you’ve chosen.

They are not the same. We are not the same.

Create in the way that best suits the race you’re running.
