Intersections

The myth of mastery is killing your career.

I keep meeting incredibly successful people who aren’t the best at anything.

A developer who writes better emails than code. Now she runs a 100-person engineering team.

A marketer who understands psychology better than marketing. His consulting waitlist is six months long.

A decent designer who gets business strategy. She just sold her agency.

None of them are world-class at their core skill. But their combinations are rare. Valuable. Different.

We’re taught to be specialists. To focus. To master.

But the most interesting careers aren’t built on expertise alone.

They’re built on intersections.

We spend years trying to be the best within our lane.

But what if the real growth comes from reading outside our field?

From connecting dots that others don’t even see exist.

Your career isn’t a straight line. It’s a heat map of possibilities.

Forget being the best. Be the only.
