“Here Be Dragons” – Taking the Path Less Travelled:
Terror often isn’t loud. It’s the email sitting unsent. The draft opened and closed five times. The fear of bothering someone. The tight chest. The overthinking.
Cold calling feels like entering dragon territory.
But when 70–80% of jobs are never posted, waiting quietly is often the riskier move. Email outreach creates space, space to think, regulate, and act without real-time pressure. You’re not asking for a job. You’re starting a conversation.
You don’t have to be fearless. You just have to press send.
Go make the dragon smaller.
