I don’t want to be famous.

I know that may sound odd or disingenuous.

Given that I write a newsletter and post to social media every day.

But that’s the price of having some relevancy in today’s attention economy.

So, yes I want the reach for my creative projects.

But fame is not always the gift people think it is.

It comes with interruptions.

Expectations.

And a tax on your time.

Maybe there’s a skill in learning how to be seen without becoming public property.

👉🏽 Check the infographic below to learn the subtle art of not becoming famous.

Ipsitaa Khullar. Behavioral scientist, singer/songwriter, actress. She debuted in the Indian music industry while she was a student at LSE. “Dual careerism is less about doing everything at once than about learning what each season of your life is asking you to prioritize.” Her daily schedule.

Fathom – AI meeting assistant that records, transcribes, and summarizes Zoom calls automatically.

💰 Wealth

Rent an Underused Asset – Look for something you already own that sits idle: parking space, camera gear, tools, storage space, or driveway. List it on a marketplace designed for that specific asset and let demand, not effort, do the work. Turn sunk costs into optional income without adding complexity.

📚 Books

The Almanack of Naval Ravikant by Eric Jorgenson. Mental models on wealth, leverage, and long-term thinking. Useful if you want first principles instead of tactics. I reviewed book.

🎵 Music

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill by Lauryn Hill. Recorded during a turbulent creative period, the album blends hip-hop, soul, reggae, and gospel while addressing fame, faith, love, and self-definition. One of the few debut albums to define an entire era.

💭 AI Prompt

Write a one-page description of a life I would never admit I want. What makes it appealing, and what story do I tell myself about why it is “not me”?
