Very insightful to read this, as someone just in the beginning of the constant transformation that is the creative career. At 25, I already feel like I'm behind on things because what I want to pursue changes every week. (And now, trying to pursue what I feel called to, but feeling anxious because it's a path unique to me—therefore, I have no one to receive advice from).
Exciting to see you on the coaching track! I would imagine it to be one of the more fulfilling paths :)
Fulsome. What a great, and underused, word. Thank you for using it.
Also, after a career built on fucking up, losing lots of money on hairball ventures aimed at creating public benefit, I find myself without regrets. I took the path less chosen. I'm glad that you're on the path to yours with coaching.
That's fascinating. I took the weirdo path, too. My regrets are around not being good enough, kind enough, smart enough, thoughtful enough, or ambitious enough. It's a strange mix of past mistakes, things not being said, and not sticking up for myself — and for others.
Timely article, Andrew! Thank you.

Thanks, Pauline. Your path will always be unique but there are so many people who help pave that path with you. Keep looking for the others!

Gulp. Thanks for writing this.
I will never regret marrying you and having our amazing daughter.
