Sailors and Rowers

Hey there - we just published a new essay.

The theory: most people model success in one of two ways. They’re sailors, or they’re rowers.

If you’re a sailor — rowers can be pretty frustrating. And vice versa.

We think this concept is useful not just so you can better understand yourself, but so you know how the people around you are likely to operate.

You can read about the idea here.

Cheers,
