Economist David Galenson studied creative careers and found an intriguing pattern:
🧠 Conceptualists do their best work young; big, bold, breakthrough ideas that disrupt entire industries. 💡
🔬 Experimentalists refine over time, perfecting their craft through iteration, learning, and trial and error. 🔍
Think 'old masters' versus 'young geniuses'. One bets on instinct, the other on experience.
🎨 Vermeer vs. Rembrandt, 📖 Joyce vs. Dickens, ⚡ Tesla vs. Edison, 🧪 Einstein vs. Darwin, 🎼 Mozart vs. Beethoven.
I’ve always been drawn to the seekers; the ones who explore, tweak, and iterate until they hit their peak. Because the magic often isn’t in the aha! moment, it’s in the process of hard work, persistence, and living a purposeful life.
As for myself? Wingman is just another step in the process of becoming who I am; a curious experimentalist 🧐, unlocking the potential of others 🚀 while shaping my own impact. 🌍
What about you? Do you find or seek? 🤔
