The Lost Art of Listening

Cameron Blewett — Tue, 02 Jun 2026 23:00:00 +0000

We’ve gotten very good at talking. Podcasts, newsletters, posts, threads, shorts, the output is relentless. Everyone has something to say and the means to say it. The listening, though. That’s quietly disappearing. I don’t mean sitting politely while someone else talks. I mean actually absorbing what another person is telling you, letting it land, sitting ... Read more

You Don’t Need to Post It to Prove It

Cameron Blewett — Wed, 27 May 2026 23:00:00 +0000

Something quiet and real happened today. You handled something well. You solved a problem. You chose the harder path when the easier one was sitting right there. Did you post about it? Of course not. It was real. There’s a strange pressure that builds in the age of permanent documentation. The feeling that an experience ... Read more

We Don’t Need Another Hero

Cameron Blewett — Mon, 25 May 2026 23:00:00 +0000

There’s a peculiar thing that happens when someone does something difficult. We make them a hero. We put them on a podcast, write a thread about them, pin them to a wall of inspiration.

Cameron Blewett — Sun, 10 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Words were exchanged. Maybe there was some yelling. Maybe some things were said that shouldn’t have been. Maybe someone stormed off.

Silence Is a Statement

Cameron Blewett — Thu, 01 Jan 2026 22:00:00 +0000

There’s a strange expectation these days that everyone must have an opinion on everything. And we must express it loudly, immediately, and often. We’re told that silence equals complicity, that a failure to weigh in on the trending issue of the day is moral cowardice. But that’s a shallow view of both speech and silence. ... Read more

Cameron Blewett — Sun, 28 Sep 2025 23:00:00 +0000

We’ve been sold an idea. One that sounds fair, reasonable, and even aspirational. work-life balance. It’s repeated in almost job ad you see, HR policies, self-help books, and podcasts. The idea is simple: keep your professional life and personal life neatly separated and equally weighted, like the arms of a scale. But here’s the uncomfortable ... Read more
