The marathon designer and creative endurance
summary
Claims a three-part practice—sustainable pacing, builder culture, versatile hiring—with concrete tactics: hiring one unlookable hire from 56 applicants because of side projects (variable fonts, iOS games, NFT art) and it pays off; instituting maker months (every other month Friday mornings, three hours) that produce plugins, internal tools, a route planner that generated a lead, and a short film done in-house; running a full in-house rebrand while delivering 20 heavyweight projects across seven domains; pacing rules stop burnout at the 30 km point.
