Speaking Without Inhibition

Of course there are situations where it’s not appropriate to say something.

But if you censor yourself all the time — and overthink what you say — then you’re being subjugated by others’ opinions and thoughts.

Your ability to speak freely without inhibition is a measure of how free you really are.

Ditto for doing.

Note: Without inhibition doesn’t mean trashing others when you feel yucky. There are humane and useful ways to express frustration and move forward. Learning how to do this is part of the puzzle.

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 I live, and sometimes my struggles and how I’m breaking through.

Regardless of the type of content, I do my best to send you at least one insightful piece 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.
