I'm an INTJ, I keep to myself, build stuff, and then try to sell it (I've done that my entire life).
I've spent only 2-3 years inside a company as an employee. I'm 45 now.
Sometimes I forget to be human, so I thought I'd share something personal.
I'm a musician.
When I was in college I started getting into techno and I became a DJ.
Then I started making electronic music, making beats... but I got a little tired of just pressing buttons and experimenting all the time.
So then I started taking piano lessons at 25 years old.
Classical to start, then I got tired of having to make every note PERFECT.
So I found jazz. I love that you could learn a framework and just play, with people, without having to make every note perfect. In fact the mistakes could be made to sound awesome!
10 years later I found myself inside the Jazz Conservatory in Berkley California playing with kids half my age.
I loved walking into a room, not saying a word, and then jamming with people.
A little nod and a smile to the bassist was all it took to communicate something profound in the moment.
Speaking of the moment.
I think that's what I love most about music. You're in the moment! Or you should be.
What do you do outside of work?
Let's get to know each other a little bit. Let us know in the comments!
