SoWhat - the April issue

Dear reader,

You’ve heard the saying, ‘Jack of all trades, master of none,’ haven’t you? As someone who’s always been interested in learning and doing several things, I prefer the first part of that saying. How wonderful is it to explore so many parts of the world and discover that there’s so much more?

That is why I’m excited to unveil the theme for this month’s cover – ‘Mercy Abel unlocks another character’.

Sometime in early March, Mercy and I sat down to discuss her background, motivations, ambitions, and her new venture, which she officially opens for business this month. In my piece, I say of her: “Mercy, who, up until now, had been a spin instructor, gymnast, internship programme director, communities manager, inclusion consultant, award-winning communications professional, and podcaster, has added yet another feather to her cap: founder.”

Stay tuned for the full piece next week.

Also excited to share other pieces from Pete Marcus, Co-Founder, Delphi, and Axe + Saw’s new Director, Arun Lloyd.

Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes… the ones who see things differently — they’re not fond of rules… You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things… they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.

— Steve Jobs, 1997

This is for the multi-hyphenates. Remember that you can master anything—everything—you want. But who cares if you’re a master of none? You’re literally a Jack of all trades.

I hope you love reading this issue.
