He had good grades in college. Wasn't just one of those  book smart kids, but actually had a decent head. Decent, but not great. He knew he wasn't the type to be able to start his own business and get rich. So he graduated and got a job.

At his job...

By 2010 the world had become unrecognizable. On the surface.

Peer deeper and you'd see how things were changing less.

The details were changing. smartphones , increasingly  global economies,  electric vehicles , and promises of  self-driving cars.

But what actually mattered had calcified further.

I like to think of the end to the
golden age
of 
podcasts
from a slightly different angle. It's fully from my perspective as a listener of podcasts.

There was once a time when I looked forward to listening to podcasts all day. Whether i was driving or walking or even working! I thought I needed to have a podcast on! 

This was the time when i was crazy about 
Tom Bilyeu
's impact theory, which is still a very good interview show, but these days I just don't feel that same craving for podcasts I once did. Sometimes I'm just more interested in what I'm doing -- whether it be work or walking or etc -- that I'd rather not listen to other people chit chatting... although the content might be good.

I still listen to podcasts but it's just not a thing that I have as a my regular routine. I see the end of the golden age as the populace shifting like so.

Why I write.

Keni I think knowing why we do something keeps opportunities possible. Wanting to be good at something or known for something just isn't enough of a reason. You'll quit along the way.

Dave Chappelle
where Dave says how cool it is that all of the things Joe does today primarily are things he got into with no visible outcome initially. Joe had no intentions of being known as a 
UFC
commentator or being known for 
podcasts
. He just knew he wanted to do it and he had his why.

For much of my writing life I've wanted to be recognized and that drove my habit and that's probably why I've struggled to keep the habit.
