ZM happy Tuesday. Today’s lesson comes from The Four Agreements—that bright little card on my desk shouting, take action without expecting a reward. It’s a perfect snapshot of the ZAO ethos. We build, remix, and share because the spark itself feels right. Every song battle, every line of code, every late-night brainstorm—none of it is pegged to likes, upvotes, or token drops. The reward is already baked into the work: sharpening our craft and moving the culture an inch forward.
So wherever you’re plugged in today, ship one thing purely for the joy of motion. If applause shows up, cool. If not, we’re still stacking real momentum, and that pays off long after the clapping stops.

Today’s blog post from @zaal highlights a key lesson from *The Four Agreements*: take action without expecting rewards. Building and sharing creations—be it music or code—brands fulfillment beyond external recognition. It's about honing one’s craft and progressing the culture for the joy of it. Embrace motion!
