Very thoughtful reflections, Bo! I view you as someone who has it all—a lot of hard skills *and* you ooze originality, character, and the ability to connect deeply with others. The world wasn't designed by people like you, so it's not easy, but you're doing great.
Really enjoyed this article. I spent much of my 30s and 40s disabled and out of the game. Before that, I was artist and entrepreneur. As I do the pivot and rebrand coming i to 50, I am reflecting on my skills and beliefs and how I did what I did before disablement. I have a conflicted relationship between hard and soft skills. I survived on hard skills as a Latina, however, I succeeded on soft for sure. I just kept those very secret. Now I am leaning hard into soft and appreciating how real, powerful and true they are in a way that transcends purely transactional class access.

Thank you so much Rachel for truly seeing me and supporting me through the years 🥹🫶🏽❤️🩹
Soft power resonates. Love the analogy of infinite games, playing to keep playing and manifesting it all. Great food for thought!
YES I am so excited for this soft power era Bo!
