Episode notes
From Straight-A Student To Doubts
- Nick followed the straight path: top grades, Stanford, then consulting.
- He says obedience to that script gave skills but left him wondering what he truly cared about.
Consulting Trained His Data Skills
- Nick enjoyed economics/litigation consulting because it was analytical and data-heavy.
- The job taught him programming and data skills that later enabled his writing career.

- Books reach people at higher return-per-time than blogs for many readers.
- Nick chose a book partly because it would reach readers who don't follow blogs regularly.
