Firstly, THANK YOU for the introduction to Hanif Abdurraqib! Sunday I-80 and Defiance, Ohio is the Name of a Band hit me straight in my chest <3 And I love the idea of the Johnny Cash school of obsession! Need to think on my big 3...

Okay obviously I am *in love* with this 3 obsession framing and will be thinking about it a lot more. My quick first reaction is that mine are something in the realm of:

1. Personal experimentation/change/permission to pivot

2. Money/capitalism

3. Defining success for yourself
