A writing buddy,
interested in entering the same market
I play in,
asked me to meet with her
for lunch on Saturday.
She gave the impression
this was a one-to-one meeting.
I like her.
I trust her.
I want her to do well.
So I showed up to the lunch,
prepared to share secrets.
There were five other people
sitting at the table.
My buddy clearly thought
that more people meant more insights.
Nope.
We didn’t trust each other
so we talked about general insights,
information that could be found
on the internet.
I barely spoke at all
and I definitely didn’t share any secrets.
If you want to hear secrets,
hold a one-to-one meeting
with the insider.
