Hello gentle-people,

I had this idea to write inspired by the act of removing my podcast from public streaming platforms. While writing this post, Andre 3000 released his new instrumental album, “New Blue Sun,” honoring his discovery of wind instruments. This post, which is for paid subscribers only, is an exploration of expectations, giftedness, and whatever it means to “waste potential.”
