HelloFresh uses aggressive online sales tactics to convince people to buy their subscriptions and yet it refuses to pay its staff fairly and allow them to have adequate break time.
Stop giving your money to companies who do not have basic decency and decorum.

I don't know who else needs this word on this Sunday morning (bc I was in part ministering to my own self by recording and posting this), but don't die (creatively) in the gap.

This is a little lengthy (clip AND tweet), bear with me:

"The thing I’d like to say to you with all my heart is that most everybody I know who does interesting creative work went through a phase of years where with their good taste, they could tell what they were doing wasn’t as good as they wanted it to be… it didn’t have that special thing they wanted it to have… Everybody goes through that phase… and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work.” - Ira Glass

For most of us, the thing about growing in whatever your craft may be is that, if you're doing it right, every level of growth comes with the increased awareness that there's an even *higher* level of mastery to attain. In time, though, I also believe that we're increasingly aware that the next level's available to us - with the work.
But when you're still new'ish in a space. Still JV (and for many of us JV can look like a strong decade plus, don't be fooled), getting to the good work feels FAR (T Boz in Belly voice). And some folks just tap out.

Here's the downside to the increased ease and access to entering the creator economy: the internet will have you believing there's a shortcut to good work. There are gifted people who are outliers, and there are masters who make sh*t look deceptively simple, and there are people who will share easy (easIER than normal) ways to do things. But you can't hack the learning and growth that happens through process.

Do the work.

@femielufowojujr Agree. The 24 hr turnaround was amazing. Still don’t know why we have to go through some of these unnecessary bureaucratic processes though.

[LÁNRE @iamlanre]

Spent 2hrs at the Nigerian House yesterday, long queues and all but got the new passport in this morning’s post. Still not sure why in ‘24 u have to bring a copy of your husband’s passport to get yours renewed.

[LÁNRE @iamlanre]

Who’s renewed their Naija passport recently pls. What’s the (most up to date) process ? 😩😫

[LÁNRE @iamlanre]
