Adulthood: Revisited
Episode 27: Why Rock Tumbling Could Be The Key To Your Fortunes
May 19, 2020
Hola, A:R Nation, como esta? I hope that this episode finds you well. The idea behind this episode came to me from an ad that appeared on one of my feeds. Then, I noticed the principle operating all over the place. And that fascinated me, which is why I explore it on this episode. What was that ad? It was for a rock tumbler. What's a rock tumbler? That's the same thing I asked when I saw the ad. It's a device that one can use to smoothe out rocks. Why would anyone smoothe out rocks? There's nothing valuable about rocks. It's not on the top of my list of hobbies, but people do it. And on the other side of rock tumbling, people create beautiful art, some even sell it and make great money doing so. It got me to thinking about ideas. Similar to rocks, ideas of all shapes and sizes exist all around us. Often, our first reaction might be to dismiss it - it's already been done, that niche is too crowded, whatever. Put a rock in the hands of the right person who's patient and committed, and you'll get something that's valuable. The same with ideas. Your ideas are just as potentially valuable as the next person's. The question is are you patient enough, and committed enough, and willing to take action to get handsy and physical with those ideas to bring it to life? On the other side of rock tumbling comes beautiful works. Imagine what awaits you on the other side of your idea. This is the Adulthood: Revisited Podcast.

The idea behind this episode came to me from an ad that appeared on one of my feeds.

Then, I noticed the principle operating all over the place.

And that fascinated me, which is why I explore it on this episode.

What was that ad?

It was for a rock tumbler.

What's a rock tumbler?

That's the same thing I asked when I saw the ad.

It's a device that one can use to smoothe out rocks.

Why would anyone smoothe out rocks? There's nothing valuable about rocks.

It's not on the top of my list of hobbies, but people do it.

And on the other side of rock tumbling, people create beautiful art, some even sell it and make great money doing so.

It got me to thinking about ideas.

Similar to rocks, ideas of all shapes and sizes exist all around us.

Put a rock in the hands of the right person who's patient and committed, and you'll get something that's valuable.

The same with ideas.

Your ideas are just as potentially valuable as the next person's.

The question is are you patient enough, and committed enough, and willing to take action to get handsy and physical with those ideas to bring it to life?

On the other side of rock tumbling comes beautiful works.

Imagine what awaits you on the other side of your idea.
