Love that example form Jay-Z. I think these qualify as "origin stories" - the moment when the lightbulb goes off and we sense a possibility that invades our imagination, won't let go, and changes our lives. Origin stories make great things to write about!

Yes, Rick! Love the lightbulb analogy. I think of origin stories as the root of success (basically the opposite of finding the root of a problem). Origin stories are always interesting, that's for sure.

I love that. An origin story is the root of a possibility instead of the root of the problem. I’m gonna remember that one.
