The Multi-Hyphenated Fail

It’s 2024 and men and women everywhere have become obsessed with a sexy qualifying term: the multi-hyphenate. This is the phenomenon where we see folks embody many roles at a high level. 

Are you not a entrepreneur-writer-speaker-humanitarian-inventor-model? 

Lame. 

Just kidding. In fact, what’s much more lame than being a singular badass in any different arena is being equally unremarkable in a number of arenas in pursuit of the lofty title of multi-hyphenate. 

I’m not here to attack folks or tell people how to live. In fact, if you genuinely desire to be a multi-hyphenate, watch the real ones. What you’ll notice is that they master something singular and then they build new capacities on top of that. 

If mastery doesn’t skip steps, then mastery in half a dozen things definitly doesn’t skip steps. Go deep, then go broad.
