Why we picked it This is the essay that names the shift you're betting on: online, your reputation and reach are no longer tied to where you live, who you know, or a boss's opinion of you. McCormick frames the internet as one open game anyone can play by being curious, sharing, and helping in public, with limited downside and large upside. Read it as encouragement to start, not a guarantee, then go do the unglamorous daily posting the other two resources describe.
The Great Online Game
From Not Boring (notboring.co) by Packy McCormick Medium read (about 20 to 30 minutes)
- Financial and social capital are no longer bound to your location or credentials, which is exactly the constraint an out-of-hub founder feels.
- The game rewards sharing, curiosity, and helping without keeping score, so generosity in public is a real strategy, not just a nice idea.
- Small, consistent moves (a tweet, a post, a project shared openly) compound into opportunities that would never have found you offline.
