Passion Is Built, Not Found
Cal reframes authorship as long-term capital. You don’t discover passion first, you develop it by doing hard projects, building rare skills, and gaining control. A book becomes one of the most powerful forms of career capital.

Key Lesson
Meaningful work comes from cultivating skill and ownership, not “following passion.”
