Ever since I started practicing creativity and writing, I have been searching for someone whose ideas felt just right. Someone who is not hustling people’s attention & time and still making major impact.
Lucky for me, I found Seth Godin. I actually already knew him as he wrote a lot of famous books but I didin’t know what he stood for. His blog, this podcast and his book “The practise”, I basically became a Seth Godin junkie. I needed to explore more.
In one of the podcasts I heard him mentioning his own out-of-the-box one month leadership workshop: AltMBA. I applied months ago and got in with scholarship. I was so happy and scared when I heard the news.
This was our first week and our first assignment was to come up with a goal. I decided to go with “Increasing FLUX subscribers from 20 to 200 by the end of 2022”. Not that I only care about subscription numbers per se, but having this goal would make me produce value in a completely different level. In the feedback round, one of the coaches challenged me to describe the FLUX community I had in my wildest dreams.
So, here is my wildest dream:
FLUX is for young adults who on the surface have everything but can’t seem to stop thinking “There must be more to life than this!”. For people who feel alone in their struggles because everywhere they look, all they see are fronts: happy, moisturized people who have it all figured out.
FLUX is for people who hear the ticks of change. They yearn for something they can’t seem to pin-point. FLUX is the invitation to common humanity, to see everybody struggles and nobody has the exact answers. FLUX is the invitation to meaningful change that comes from possibility instead of fear.
Here, we share our stories, ask questions and challenge the status-quo.
We feel insignificant and precious at the same time.
We are perfect and imperfect.
We are good and bad.
We are in-between,
the grey zone,
the journey,
the road without destination.
We make introspection the new cool/sexy!
This newsletter will always have stories and personal essays.
But, I want to add couple things that can add further value to readers.
Let me know what you want to see in the newsletter.
I am really sad these weeks and I am hopeful at the same time.
But for now,
Love,
FLUX
