What landed most for me was the shift from “What’s the method?” to “What did they go through that made them who they are?” It’s a subtle question change that completely rewires how we look at role models and our own path. Casey’s story as you tell it feels less like a blueprint to copy and more like permission to treat our own messy context as the real raw material.
Hi Jose. The "relentlessly telling others what to do" line is where I saw it. When we lead with prescriptions before really listening or understanding the other person's context, there's an implicit assumption that our path is transferable and we totally have the full context. That gap between confidence and actual context is where entitlement quietly lives. That's the blind spot most of us even never notice.

Alex you are articulating the idea so much better than I did.
Indeed, the messy parts of our story are the raw material. The compost we need to use to grow :)
Great reflections. There is a fine line between entitlement and everything else you described above. Thank you! :)
Hello Nihal, that sounds intreaguing, could you explain a bit more about how do you see entitlement in this context?

Thank you for that! Brilliant.
Thank you, too!
The un-strategy: being you.
Very well said. Thanks Domen
