I’m probably a dilettante. My every day interests range across history, food, hiking while my career has switched from defense policy, trade policy, economics, nonprofit management and now finance.
Re-reading that, it’s not actually that broad. It’s all basically what used to be called political philosophy.
But I can’t actually say I’m a deep expert on any of those topics. I know enough to get paid, that’s all.
But that’s what the podcast is all about. Take something I’m doing anyway (reading history), and dive deep, share it with others who can’t dive deep, and learn something new (how to produce a podcast). Maybe I’ll still be a dilettante but I’ll be one with a new skill.
