I don’t know man. It sounds like Milton needs a little space to get his swag on. Just my opinion but I don’t think I want Alice in the boardroom. She’s like the terrifying witch at the top of the hill you only want to go see when the entire village is inflicted with the plague.
Life minus big tech plus two kids is pretty much unrecognizable. I think death and rebirth is the right metaphor. Kind of dramatic, but accurate from my perspective.
As I type this, both kids sleeping with the newborn resting on my chest so life is pretty epic ngl.
I loved this essay so much, thank you for writing it and putting out into the world🩷 And this was exactly the reminder that I needed to have to not choose a side but incorporate them! I am curious how Alice and Milton's marriage will turn out!
Thank you Mazsi! And I like how you put that---I feel like I'm on a big integration kick lately, trying to connect with different parts of myself, including ones I don't like. Seems to be pretty beneficial so far!
I like it! I feel like I’m going g through a similar journey of discovery, with two similar internal forces. I’m still in the corporate gig, but I’m ready to make some big changes towards that new balance.

But what if I'm truly, deeply, half corporate sell-out??
Man I got through the series fast! I hope you find your sheep while feeding those wolves.
I left big tech a couple years ago myself so a lot of your questions resonate.
Thanks Kiran! I'm glad you're digging it. How's life after Big Tech?

Nice, good luck! I'm curious to hear about how things go when you make those changes happen.
A terrific application of the two wolves allegory, Jordan.
I explored from a psychology perspective in my very first substack newsletter.

Nice, thanks for sharing! Keep feeding those good wolves.
Wolves are pack animals :)
True!
