On writing and language development
I've witnessed this countless times. It's a huge anathema to bring up to founders looking for a quick way to build a community the fact that... humans have intrinsic motivation, and if you slap money on it, you might simply crowd that one out.

I love the question @jordancooper asks founders- “if there were one thing i needed to understand to see as much value in your business as you do, what would it be and let’s talk about that.”
In my early 30s I began to consider the mythic as a novel ‘aesthetic’. Calling myself “a wizard” was infinitely preferable to calling myself a “thought leader”, a “futurist” or a “consultant”. The archetype of wizard was much more enlivening and expansive; the mythic quality to it that appealed to me. And still does.
