Today’s newsletter is brought to you by Latticework, one of my favourite learning resources on the internet.

The Latticework is an application only, all-in community providing the most thoughtful approach I’ve seen to learning the big ideas from the big disciplines. I’ve been a member for 1 year and am now proud to offer my community priority access to join as well as a sneak preview of some of the key content.

The Scarcity Paradox

What’s scarce is deemed valuable, what’s abundant is deemed worthless.

Example: Waiting in line, dealing with difficult people, or learning a new skill.
