The playing field is one of just seven blog posts on Graham's website, which you can find at Graham Duncan dot blog. Over the last decade, I've interviewed and assessed more than 5000 investment managers. The great ones view investing as a game and they know exactly what game they're playing. We are clearly whether we have acknowledged it or not yet, chasing mastery.

The Playing Field by Graham Duncan is BY FAR the best piece of writing I've read on the journey we must all make to reach mastery in our fields. While Graham writes about the journey to master the art of investing, everything in it is broadly generalizable.

In Graham’s view we must all progress from apprentice, to professional, to self-actualization, operating at scale with impact, and eventually (if we make it) mentoring the new generation. It’s a wonderful meditation on mastery — what it is, what it looks like, and most importantly the journey to get there.
