The Myths of Experience – Overview

The following is the transcript from the Channel Trailer for my YouTube channel. It focuses on a new body of work that lives under the banner of The Myths of Experience.

Most channels chase topics. This one has been circling a tension.

If you’re new here, you might notice something quickly.

This channel doesn’t revolve around one subject. It revolves around one question:

What does experience actually do for us?

Over the years, I’ve explored ideas about work, time, value, creativity, careers, and meaning.

At first glance, they can look separate. They aren’t.

They’re all different ways of circling the same tension: That the advice we’re given about experience, how it’s supposed to work, what it’s supposed to guarantee, often stops making sense the further we go.

We’re told experience equals certainty.

That more years mean clearer answers.

That expertise naturally turns into authority and opportunity.

But many experienced professionals discover the opposite.

More experience brings more complexity. More questions.

And a growing sense that the old rules don’t quite apply anymore.

This channel is where I examine that gap.

The assumptions we inherit about expertise.

The myths we carry about seniority, relevance, and success.

And what becomes possible when experience is treated not as a credential, but as raw material.

So if you’re browsing older videos here, you’re not looking at a collection of disconnected topics.

You’re looking at one long conversation about how people with experience make sense of what they know and learn to use it deliberately, creatively, and on their own terms.

If that’s a question you’re living with too, you’re in the right place.

Welcome.
