Natural talent vs. deals with the D. to get some. A beautiful legend about Robert Johnson, Willie Brown and their deals with the D. vs. naturally gifted Eugene. "Crossroads" (1986) by Walter Hill.

Music exam scene: https://youtu.be/1DgRCXJLpLU

Music Teacher [after Eugene's performance transforming Mozart into Blues]: That was very good Eugene, very good up to a point. Most people approach Mozart with respect, a quality which you are apparently unfamiliar with.

Eugene: I'm sorry. I didn't mean any disrespect. I was just... making a joke.

Later.

Music Teacher: You came to us as a classical student. The word "prodigy" was actually used on occasion. And you have proven to be one of the finest guitarists in the school. Mr. Martone, a word of advice: don't serve two masters. The discipline of the classical is very exacting. And if you persist in the other, you will squander your talent.

Eugene: What if the other is my talent?

Music Teacher: Excellence in primitive music is cultural. You have to be born to it. Now, you were allowed to leave secondary school early to pursue classical studies. I suggest you reexamine your priorities.

And so, Eugene did! 💖😉

– Let's meet together and have dinner.
– But I don't know who you are.
– I don't know who you are either, so it’s risky for both of us. I will bring a knife, so you should too.

"I’m looking to hire for a grad / young human role. It’s a choose your own adventure gig. You’ll likely have a business/finance focus but I don’t care if you dont. You’ll think conventional banking / finance is dying / s**t. You’ll be analytical and see through bulls**t. If you laugh at the marketing campaigns because they’re transparent, I want you!

Part time, full time, in between your studies, your kids or your pet turtles - I’m flexible.

Melbourne preference but ‘anywhere’ is fine.

You’ll be able to come on a journey. You’ll be our defi, web 3, metaverse expert. You’ll learn, from scratch if necessary, what that means and you’ll help us apply it to shaping the Maslow world. We aren’t a traditional web3 play, but we share many commonalities in our values.

You’ll be able to present info / reports and you’ll push when you know you’re right. You’ll be opinionated. You’ll hate the establishment (who likes it?) and you’ll want to help us fix the world. We aren’t a family, because families are weird and nobody needs one at work. But we are an exceptional team. You will learn a lot. We’re also very well connected so if it’s a bad fit, we’ll help you find the right one.

I don’t care what you’ve done or what you haven’t. I care what you want to do and who you are inside. If you bring a unique experience or view of the world that this young white male doesn’t have, I’ll sit up even more. If life has handed you more lemons than most and you’ve pushed forward anyway, I respect that more than anything and it’s the kind of trait I want in our team. If finance or banking seems like it wouldn’t welcome you because you have pink hair or piercings or a horrible unicorn tattoo on your forearm you’re wrong. This s**t industry serves everyone and we can’t fix it with a Mould. You may never have fit one.

You may end up a subject matter expert in this field within Maslow, or you may end up with another focus and we’ll help you get there - you try it, we communicate and that’s how it works. You’ll have been hired because of who you are and that won’t change. So, don’t be a dick.

Or, You may take what you learn and help translate this new world to the old world establishment and you’ll get paid a fortune to do it. We can be a stepping stone or a long stay.

If you are already a web3 / defi / DAO expert I don’t want you. Sorry.

Min wage is $60k if you still live at home. It’s $70k if you don’t. I’ll give you $5k as a bonus to pay your first rental bond at any point if you wanna work out how annoying doing your own washing really is. You can be 18 or 23. I don’t care. You can be at uni or finished. Why should it matter? obviously it’s an entry level salary etc.

If you know someone tag them so they can stalk my content and formulate their DM to me.

The new world of finance is coming. What better than learning from the front line. 😁

There are no KPI’s. Except decency and ethics. You have to have both literally leaking out of your pours."

When you are looking for a professional because YOU are a professional yourself.

"If finance or banking seems like it wouldn’t welcome you because you have pink hair or piercings or a horrible unicorn tattoo on your forearm you’re wrong. This s**t industry serves everyone...." This is TOO GOOD! 💖🤗 This is TOO EXCELLENT, as excellent as "no KPIs, except decency and ethics" when your goal is "to fix the world", not competition with unfortunate, broken, old-world systems - they are already "going over by themselves" like viruses, so no need to compete with them. It is time to create, co-create and collaborate with emerging solutions and professionals of the future which is already TODAY.

We have a shared vision.
