Everyone becomes a sellout at some point

It’s hard to resist that temptation — especially if you saw some initial results.

But selling out comes with a price far beyond any results they bring. The price is a destruction of trust.

Trust, once destroyed, can be incredibly hard to build again.

But not all hope is lost.

I have no facts to prove this, but a hunch tells me that everyone becomes a sellout at some point.

Perhaps it’s better to get this stage over and done with, then you’ll be able to plant you feet firmly back on the ground and do the work that what you’re meant to do all along.

Join My Newsletter

I share what I’m learning on this newsletter: code, building businesses, and living well.

Sometimes I write about technical deep-dives, product updates, musings on how to live, and sometimes my struggles and how I’m breaking through.

Regardless of the type of content, I do my best to send you an update every week.

If you’re into making things and growing as a person, you’ll probably feel at home here.

Zell is the rare sort of developer who both knows his stuff and can explain even the most technical jargon in approachable — and even fun — ways!

I’ve taken his courses and always look forward to his writing because I know I’ll walk away with something that makes me a better front-ender.
