Matthew Kelly reflects on having rejected social/professional conventions early in life, which shaped his worldview and led him to start businesses. He describes career-building as iterative—networking, gaining and losing money, learning—and rooted in an initially different way of viewing the world.
I guess I'd always felt in opposition to that because the way I viewed the world was that I don't want to follow that convention. So I wonder where that comes from. And then through that, as a result of that, I ended up ultimately starting businesses, right? And going down this path. And then, you know, one thing leads to another. You build a network, you make some money, you lose some money, you learn a lot of stuff, and that becomes your career. But it primarily, and initially started with, I guess, a different way of viewing the world.
