In business, there is this idea of the moat: the advantage that one business has over their competitors. If the blockchain and AI take hold, those moats will no longer be data and content creation.

Notice how I didn’t say trust that you’re enough.
You are deeply, deeply wanted for your current skills, your ability to evolve, your intuition, your excitement, the way you think about things, your experiences, and your peace when evolving.
