Today, I made a bet.
(And I'm not usually a gambler.)
What you don't see are the books around me as I write this post. I do not see myself as a "consultant," I see myself as a triage nurse for ideas.
Though the value I introduce into the marketplace centers on sales and sales management, that value is not the core work that I do. It is the fruit of the work that I do.
The core work that I do is a continuous exploration of the network of philosophies that provide the shared psychological bedrock for what we do every day to get paid and feed our families (or just fill up our bank accounts).
As I study, I allow this to bleed into my interactions with my clients, sharing with them strategies and considerations that - as far as I have found - are as deeply connected to capital-T Truth as I know how, ensuring the next steps forward have the best chance of success, the longest lifespan, and a strong resilience.
So, the bet?
As I do my own research, what's the best way to deploy and share the fruit of my explorations to ensure generations after generation might continue to discover and build upon any good that I might contribute in this space?
Start a website? Those go away as soon as funding runs dry.
Write a book? Rolling the dice to see how long it might stay in print.
Publishing on LinkedIn? Come on, guys.
So I placed my bet:
A decentralized storage protocol with the economic model to for a best-chance of preserving digital information forever.
I set up a publication on Paragraph. I'm in the process of pointing my domain devinhasablog.com to it.
There are a few other components to the 1,000+ yr content strategy. I'll perhaps write a deeper tutorial someday about how that works.
However, I'm curious to find out what happens to the nature of my work and the nature of my content as I raise the time horizon (read: time preference) for my content.
My current followers are not my audience. Ya'll are my first audience. Then we shall see if and how subsequent audiences are impacted by anything I may have the pleasure to articulate.
