@kaseyklimes I hear (& see) you about this intentional choice! Appreciate your calling it out.

Interestingly… my handwriting has been in all caps since I was a teen. Except when I’m on vacation and/or too tired for capitalization, then my handwriting relaxes to all lowercase.

Today is the 20th anniversary of my podcast, Design Matters. On February 4, 2005, I conducted my first interview with John Fulbrook in my office in the Empire State Building. It has been a privilege to interview my (over 700) guests & share those conversations with my listeners!

[Josh Silverman @jhsilverman]

What tools or resources did you use to discover your purpose or calling?

How do you keep that drive central to your practice?

What do you wish you knew earlier in *your* career?
