You Best Protect Ya Neck

Not long ago I asked my newsletter readers for feedback, and one asked for more Wu-Tang references. That's how this episode got its theme, but the lesson is a real one: you need to protect your time, energy, and mental bandwidth from a constant, well-meaning stream of people and tasks that would happily take them from you. In this episode, I walk through the "Ideal Role Document" I built to map out what energizes me versus what drains me, how I used ChatGPT as a thinking partner to build it, and how you can build your own version.
