Dan, I think the best writing comes from a place of authenticity. If we all sound and look the same then this space just becomes an Instagram of words. Keep writing the story only you can write. I appreciate your voice in the conversation.
Geee whiz Dan - this is genuinely one of the most enjoyable things I've read in a long time. Early in my career I felt such a pressure to put the professional pants on and it's only recently I've learnt that the playfulness and the colour is so damn important. The world doesn't need more squares...
I adore this so very much!! You are truly liberated. The best thing about being a "grown ass" man, is that you can write whatever you want and NOT care about what others think. There were so many gems in this article. One of the best takeaways is you still doing some of the "nine year old " version of yourself stuff. Staying childlike is what makes aging sweet. And your writing, your mid-life, your attitude is sweet!
Love this, Dan ... I love the 'you be you' declaration of intent. The writing is sharp, witty, smart as, and different (in the very best kind of way). The very best voices in this space seem - to me - to be the ones doing the thing only they can do. Excellent work, more of the same, please. As Arnie said, stick around!
I wish I could write half as well as you Dan. I am much further into life’s journey. Ok I’m just plain old, and proud, and I have no idea what I am doing on Substack 😁😘
Jesse! Thanks for the read, and welcome aboard the crazy train! Greatly appreciate your comment, and I'll do my best to continue bringing the pain to the Substack platform! 🤪

Keep bringing the fun mate.
I'm having lots of fun doing it. << I think you've figured out what you're doing if you feel that.

Great piece and you put into words how I feel a lot of the time!
