Joshua I remember asking a lot of these questions. Now having done tons of interviews and socials I say that none of that matters a whole lot. The “feel,” the people, the culture, supportive structures, and being in a place you’ll enjoy are what I tell people are most important.

1/ On How Short Life Is A few years ago, I was walking around in a blizzard in SoHo (New York). It was late, midnight, and it was beautiful. Some friends, about 15 blocks away, called: "come over?" It was late, it was cold, was tired, thought "maybe not worth it" but then...

I am no longer using the term impostor phenomenon/syndrome. I have decided to call it belonging deprivation instead. This places the onus on the environment, not the person. It also provides the remedy in the name.
